An emerging hub for creatives and artisans, Brunswick is bursting at the seams with fun art, craft, and bric-abrac. Plan a day of browsing and digging at these local stores and, you never know, you might just find your new favourite possession.

Aftermath Gallery

It’s only newly opened, but Aftermath Gallery has already garnered quite the fanbase. Specialising in all things alternate, gothic, and macabre, owner Nikki Powell wanted her gallery and store to be an outpost for artists who normally don’t find their work featured in your standard gallery - think works by taxidermists, dollmakers, and alternate woodworkers. Alongside incense, candles, and jewellery, you can also find vintage poetry books, handmade wooden wands, and dark-themed cross stitch art. If you’re keen to try your hand at Aftermath’s signature art style, they also run regular workshops from the store. 19 Ommaney Rd, Brunswick

Itowa Wanda

The outpost for local artist Wanda Winsor, this quirky little gallery has all sorts of goodies for you to discover. From wall art to painted

furniture and sweet little glass lamps, what’s in store is limited only to the artist’s imagination. Opening hours at this gallery are short, with the doors swinging open on Fridays only. 41 Ommaney Road, Brunswick

The Junktion

A jumble of old and new, knick-knacks and more sizable pieces, there’s nothing you can’t find at The Junktion. Spend some time sifting through the eclectic collection and perhaps you’ll stumble across the perfect vintage doll for your cabinet, or a great second-hand guitar to inspire a return to tune writing. The Junktion is open

RICH PICKINGS Brunswick is a hot spot for shopping for that unique gift or one-off artwork by local craftspeople. For its relatively small size, it has an impressively diverse collection of art galleries and jumble shops.

for only a few hours on both Saturdays and Sundays, so time your treasure hunt well. Ommaney Road, Brunswick

Wagtail Creations

At the intersection of art and function, Sophie Hall at Wagtail Creations creates colourful tables and serving boards out of resin and

timber. She sources beautiful slabs from around the local area, making these pieces so uniquely ‘Brunswick’. A Jill-of-all-trades, Sophie also creates custom vinyl decals for cars and walls and a variety of different wooden wall plaques. Though there’s no shopfront to visit, Sophie welcomes emails and calls for shoppers to discuss custom orders.
