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.

once upon a time... by Lili Foster From the picturesque North West Coast of Tasmania a lovely little label called ‘Once upon a time ….’. produces a cute and quirky range of woodland style softies. Lili Foster makes her range of felted characters from beautiful eco friendly components, making them both endearing to your heart and your conscience. Painstakingly handcrafted, Lili’s seriously individual furry friends are inspired by the adventurous nature of vintage children’s stories, and each one comes with its very own story.

mel hills* wild art by Mel Hills Mel Hills is artistic‌and scientific. This interesting (and we think complimentary) combo makes for an even more interesting style of work. Mel specialises in watercolour landscapes, wildlife art and scientific illustration. She makes a beautiful range of cards and limited edition prints, depicting native animals and landscapes. Her illustrations are precise (of course!) and her selection of animals/landscapes inspired and free spirited. hills.mel@gmail.com • melhillswildart.com

s o ph i e c a r n e l l d e s i g n by Sophie Carnell Sophie Carnell’s work can not really be pinned down to a singular niche, nor field. She creates beautiful objects, with a strong reference to nature, which gives her products a lovely sense of freedom and beauty. The mixture of her handcrafted silver jewellery and glass wares makes for a terribly covetable collection, very different, and very appealing!

Her nostalgic etchings are based largely on her Polish heritage and her work often has an intriguing essence of self-portraiture. kateanna_p@hotmail.com katepiekutowskiart.blogspot.com.au

whatever heather by Shannon Robertson Alongside her duties co-curating the market with bestie Holly Webber, Shannon Robertson is the whimsical designer behind the fiercely pretty and daintily dishevelled label, Whatever Heather. Known for its bespoke seasonal ranges and eclectic ‘Heather Forever Collection’ available online, Whatever Heather is a range of fashion accessories that are decidedly feminine in outlook but with a definite quirky persona. Shannon creates Whatever Heather 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.

hideyo by Maya McDonell & Sam Beckman Maya and Sam design and work together under the name hideyo. This was Maya’s mother’s name, who remains a creative and inspiring influence. It is a Japanese name that also alludes to the Japanese influence in much of their work. Their fabric and paper creations use almost solely recycled and eco-friendly materials. Along with the exciting process of recreating an item into something new, this also represents their commitment to a gentler impact on the unique Tasmanian environment and the world at large. hideyodesigns@yahoo.com.au • hideyodesigns.com.au

Lovely lady behind the label Kate Allen, handcrafts all of her products, pouring each candle into its one-off jar or glass container.

Squirrels, birds, Russian inspired matryoshka dolls all get snapped up in the blink of an eye…no exaggeration.

A chubby little tummy on a squirrel, a pretty beaded section on a bird, or a quaint expression on a Babushka doll. All items are beautifully made by hand, and completely irresistible!

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. While that might not appeal to some, this refreshingly organic/nitty gritty approach, combined with a sincere and ethical design process and some interesting aesthetical influences has resulted in a range of jewels that are totally original and supremely cool. 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
