Welcome to Christmas at the market. Home of the most interesting, original and beautifully made collection of gifts this festive season! What you won’t find at this event are boring products of the mass produced variety, or over the top department store packaging. No, we have made it our mission to bring you the freshest local labels, along with a product selection that is seriously covetable. Spread over Saturday and Sunday, with a fresh group of exhibitors each day, you’ll find wares on offer such as fashion illustration, jewellery, photography, homewares, clothing, lighting and garden design...we’re confident in claiming we have your Christmas shopping list covered. Do have a flick through our Christmas look book, it will tell you which of your favorite labels will be appearing when - and also some insight into the ethos of the people exhibiting with us. You’ll see that while they differ vastly in their mediums, all belong to a similar Ilk, which demonstrates the core value of the market – to present customers with the cream of the crop of art & design in Tasmania.

e m i ly a r l o t t e j e w e l l e r y by Emily Arlotte Butterflies and birds form the cornerstone of Emily Arlotte’s self titled jewellery collection. And we don’t mean depictions of…literally bird’s feathers and butterfly wings (ethically sourced we might add) set delicately in beautifully recycled silver, glass and perspex. Such interesting and elaborate components require just the right kind of settings and Emily does this to perfection, taking nothing away from the raw beauty and individuality of nature. emily-eliza@hotmail.com • facebook.com/emilyarlottejewellery

e m i ly s n a d d e n design by Emily Snadden Emily Snadden is a contemporary jeweller and a brilliant one at that. She is award winning (more than once!) and her work reflects a love and response to the flora and architecture of Tasmania. This is contrasted with a sleek, clean geometric style of manufacture and means that her pieces are both polished but slightly organic‌very beautiful. Statemental cuffs, delicate layered flower rings and pretty brushed silver seedpod earrings are some of our picks from the range, but truth be told, it’s all incredible. info@emilysnadden.com • emilysnadden.com

giggling gertie by Calista Anderson-Leitch We’re so looking forward to seeing what wonderful things Giggling Gertie produces this year. From her teeny tiny mini purses to the decadent double clutch, her products are perfection. Lovely and limited run fabrics, pretty linings, a good range of size options and the cutest product names (because of course that’s important when we’re talking purses!) This year, we’re pleased to say, Giggling Gertie designer Calista Anderson-Leitch is also producing cushions and lovely collared tops to keep her range of bags company.

unio by Anne Langman Anne Langman spent five years immersed in the gemstone filled alleyways of the local markets in Cairo, Egypt...lucky Anne! And lucky for us she has poured this experience into her vibrant, bold and unexpected collection of jewels, which she exhibits under her UNIO label. An unexpected contrasting of various components means that Anne’s designs are always fresh and innovative. Colourful Brazilian Palm nuts, chunky gemstones, pearls and sterling silver all come together in a spot on and extremely distinctive fashion.

Her illustrations are precise (of course!) and her selection of animals/landscapes inspired and free spirited. hills.mel@gmail.com • melhillswildart.com

mabel by Dave Boyer Mabel duo Dave Boyer and Jemima Wagner began their creative process with some dirty old ply and acrylic, a handheld drill and an upside-down floor sander.

Featuring stacked layers of timber pared with fun pops of coloured resin, Mabel wares are a perfect example of good Australian design…an awesome product with a feel good ethos behind it.

Shannon Robertson Shannon Robertson, is the whoever behind the whimsical fashion label, Whatever Heather. Launched in the summer of 2008, Whatever Heather is a confident, youthful label full of intrigue and whimsy, known for its decidedly feminine outlook with a dash of dark dishevelment. WH produces bespoke seasonal ranges which are stocked in select boutiques around Australia. In addition to the seasonal WH offerings, the Heather Forever Collection (available online) boasts an eclectic and constantly evolving range of favourite pieces.
Established in April 2009 – the market is a boutique art and design event, held 6 times a year in the intriguing Masonic Temple. the market creators, Shannon Robertson and Holly Webber, both run successful small businesses of their own, so understood the need for and were intent on creating, a high integrity market, where quality up-and-coming Tasmanian artists, designers and makers could get the right sort of exposure. the market strives to keep its focus on boutique, high quality products, made with integrity, original thought and professionalism. While the exhibitors are extremely varied in their fields (think fashion illustration to bespoke ceramics), all belong to a similar ilk, which reflect the core values of the market, to present customers with the cream of the crop of Art & Design in Tasmania. Holly and Shannon are committed to their mission of showcasing and celebrating the abundance of talent tucked away in Tasmania, and are forever seeking new exhibitors, who have something wonderful and unique to offer the marketplace. With an exciting and interesting lineup of labels for 2012, featuring a new selection of exhibitors at each event, visitors can head to the market knowing that what’s on offer is indeed a snapshot of the vibrant art and design scene in Tasmania.
Shannon creates WH from her attic studio in Hobart’s Battery Point, which is filled with all manner of inspiration...flowers, chandeliers, battered crowns, and sometimes (if he fancies) her imperious ginger cat/occasional muse, named Raspberry. shannon@themarkethobart.com.au www.whateverheather.com.au

Demand to know where things come from, what is in them, who has made them and under what conditions. Do not be led only by price but look for value and craftsmanship. Buy only things and materials that respect the human energy that has gone into them and where the maker is rewarded fairly. kevin mccloud Kevin McCloud’s 43 Principles of Home
