julywelcome to July at the market. this market promises to brighten up the long cold

hobart winter, with our carefully selected collection of exhibitors, all presenting beautiful

and inspiring designs. with an eclectic product mix including lighting design, home

wares and fashion illustration, this would have to be one of our favourite lineups to date.

Do have a fossick through our look book, it will give you a sneak peek as to which labels

will be presenting their wares on market day and also the philosophies of the artists,

designers and makers behind them. while vastly differing in products and style, all our

exhibitors are of a similar ilk, which we feel demonstrates the core values of the market,

to present customers with the cream of the crop of art & Design in tasmania.

we’re also rather excited that the lovely singers festival of Voices will be joining us at

this event! we’re so chuffed that our market customers will be treated to the sounds

from tasmania’s largest winter cultural event and cannot wait to see (or hear!) what they

have in store for us.

we look forward to seeing you on the 8th July!

Jewellery inspired by the miniature creatures of the antarctic ocean…now that’s

unique. oceanides is a striking range of jewels designed by Marine scientist Karin

beaumont, she aims to open people’s eyes to the diversity, beauty and importance

of microscopic marine life. Delicate patterns, carefully considered styles and lovely

materials mean that the oceanides label is not only scientifically savvy, but also

stunning.

o c e a n i d e s

by Karin Beaumont

Do you have a day job, if so what is it?

i’m an antarctic Voyage Leader and tasmanian tour Guide.

When did your business begin and why?

oceanides was born from a fascination with the stunning microscopic patterns and

forms i observed during my PhD research in the antarctic and southern ocean.

instantly inspired, i created my first piece of metal sculpture in the diesel mechanics

workshop at Davis station, antarctica. this was a seed for later completing a

Diploma in art, craft, Design in 2006 and the evolution of my label ‘oceanides’

meaning ‘beauties of the sea’. the aim of my business has been to open people’s

eyes to the diversity, beauty and importance of microscopic marine life though the

uniquely personal medium of jewellery.

Inspiration/design aesthetic?

My designs inspired by nature, yet it is a side of nature most people don’t get

to see: a scientists view of the ocean, of creatures magnified 1000 times. some

designs are inspired directly by a particular pattern while others are more abstract

yet, somehow, may appear oddly familiar. in my latest range, i return to my

favourite material, sterling silver. the ocean Planet series is inspired by both the

physical landscapes of both antarctica and tasmania and their microscopic marine

life. this range is designed to be accessible to both women and men. the designs

are simple and abstract incorporating negative space so the clothing and body

become part of the design.

Designers you admire?

scandinavian design in general, and several Korean jewellery designers, Marian

hosking, Julie blyfield, Khai Liew, sally brown and Linda fredheim.

What is your favourite part of Tasmania?

the North-east coast (bay of fires) and the south west coast – two totally different

climates and environments on the one island! i love the north-east for it’s beaches,

lichen-covered rocks, turquoise waters, and dry sclerophyll forest. the south-west

i love for its ruggedness, it’s wild, wet, changeable weather and raw beauty of the

great southern ocean that pounds the coast.

What do you love about what you do...and any little gripes or niggles?

i love seeing patterns, forms and composing ideas, and then transposing these

ideas into tangible three-dimensional objects. i enjoy resolving a design: ‘solving

the puzzle’ of turning an object into something functional and wearable. i also get

a real buzz when people appreciate the inspiration and story behind the design as

well as the overall aesthetic and functionality of the piece.

What can our lovely customers expect to see you exhibiting?

My aluma cuff bracelets in anodised aluminium – a design i am very proud of due

to its widespread appeal from 18 to 80 year olds! My ‘silica shard’ silver earrings,

‘cocco’ powder-coated coloured rings, and my more recent and abstract ‘ocean

Planet’ range of matt silver jewellery, including pendants, brooches, and unisex

lapel / tie pins, all inspired by unique microscopic marine life.

Loz abberton, is the super clever, passionate and voluble (in a really good way)

lady behind those gorgeously glowing beacons of eco – friendly light, Grandeliers.

her designs are minimal, eclectic, intriguing and incredibly stylish…just what you

want to light up your home and your life.


Day job? Grandeliers are my day job. and my night shift.


the past 18 months identified my clients as (mostly) women who want australian-

made, quality handcrafted products with honest eco-credentials and back-story to

curate their homes and working environments. ushering away the homogensied,

cookie-cutter style…which i desperately loved in the 90s. why i began my

business? to escape the cookie-cutter.


online; anywhere scandi. it’s my heritage… lame, i know to plop for one region

but they do economical style very well. there’s so much visual enchantment online

that it’s hard to list what inspires. extracting the essence of a culture (like a national

uniform) inspires as do the more indy designers. offline; friends inspire me. the

coast calms me. then design ideas unfold.

Pass the phonebook. and the international directory, too.


the island’s entire bewitching coastline…greed is good. there seems to be

postcards popping up wherever i peer… the horizon looms incredibly close.

i now grasp the ‘big sky’ theory of the vast, country queensland of my childhood.

and if people can be parts, then add them to my favourites; knowledge sharing

within the tasmanian design community is abundant… pinch yourself, it’s real. oh,

and the one minute traffic jams on the way to that coastline!


i love light. sunlight, moonlight, firelight, streetlight…and the transformative

shadows created. Light draws people…must be our primordial genes. Growing

the Grandeliers brand is fun, frustrating, fun…isn’t that love? Guess not so many

challenges, more discoveries. the earth is round so to send my Grandeliers any

way but flat-pack would make them untenable. sourcing quality tasmanian eco-

accredited materials was initially frustrating. we all know about our forests. Lastly, i

recently read that growing a brand is a marathon not a sprint. i love that, too.


GRaNDeLieRs. flat-pack pendant lights and lamps that add a luminous statement

to any room. Made from future-friendly materials they flat-pack for efficient

transporting and easily assemble tool-free.

Plus my new range of lightshades: sLiP. created by layering timber veneer and

lasercut polypropylene. flat-packing into cardboard envelopes for easy transport

they simply lace together for bootylicious lighting that adds a little va va voom

to any space. and shaDow shifteRs. add or substract layers from a range of

designs to create a unique diffuser. flat-packed and ready to shape those shadows.

all my products are designed and made in tasmania.

Miriam herzfeld from Nara Design is all for celebrating beautiful textiles…aren’t

we all? Miriam celebrates them by making them into stylish, practical and very

appealing clothing for adults and children, along with a small range of homewares.

her fabrics for 2012 are indeed beautiful and include organic cotton and wool, low

impact textiles, along with some seriously stunning Japanese + vintage fabrics.

i’m a Mum to my four year old tibby. i also run my own business working as

a consultant in the area of health promotion, community development and

population health.


i started nara design after the birth of my daughter in 2008. i found it difficult to

find warm clothing in tasmania so i started to search for organic merino wool

fabric so i could make my own clothes for her. i particularly wanted to make pants

with booties. Market research with mothers in the area gave me further ideas

about what people were looking for. and i went on to design other pants, dresses

and bedding for little people. about 16 months on, and i with the help of my

wonderfully talented and supportive Mum had enough stock to start trading.


i’m inspired by the beautiful textiles that are made both within tasmania and

around the world. i’ve been fortunate to travel to some places that produce

amazing textiles including Japan, uzbekistan, holland, france and china. i

particularly love Japanese textiles such as those produce by Nani iro and etsuko

furuya. i also love vintage and retro design and am an avid collector of eclectic

wares – everything from vintage chairs to retro brooches. i’m enthused by many

things - from florence broadhurst wallpaper designs to the colours and wonders of

nature.


My Mum, Nani iro, etsuko furuya, Melody Miller and florence broadhurst.


bruny island because i love the coast and going on the ferry makes me feel like i’m

going to another country.


i love the creative opportunities that nara design and being involved in the market

have provided me. i’ve met so many lovely and talented people who are part of

the creative community - it’s a real pleasure to be part of it. it’s really nice when you

come across a little person wearing something you made and when you get repeat

customers who give you feedback. i love working with my Mum for nara design.

she’s a fantastic sewer and i owe my love for textiles and sewing abilities to her.


at the beginning of this year we did a lot of research and thinking about where

we wanted to head with nara design in 2012. we purchased a large collection of

new textiles and developed a range of new designs and ideas. our designs will

be simple allowing the textiles to be the star of our products. we hope to bring a

unique and stylish collection of children’s wear, women’s wear and homewares.

views and four seasons. tasmania for me is not any one place but a tolerant and

accessible place for my family.

Js: i spent some of my childhood years growing up in ferntree, so for me the trees

and smell of the bush with hill and river views is something i treasure wherever i am

in the world.


the world is our horizon and the ideas come thick and fast. the gripe is time

limitations to follow through in one continuum from idea to completed product.

we do everything from inception, sourcing fabrics and yarns to match the design

and texture of our ideas, to manufacture and then the (boring but essential)

business side (paperwork, accounts, advertising and marketing). a larger financial

base and space would allow us to do this full time.


unique, “one off” gifts and home wares that are contemporarily designed using

specialty yarns and fabrics. Designs from tasmanian based Jen2le using world

sourced silks, mohair, hemp, linen, bamboo and many others.

Larissa Kemp is a part time fairy helper and a part time talented jeweller. her

cleverly crafted jewellery designs, sold under the Little Lari label, have a

lovely freedom to them, and use a fun and refreshingly unexpected pairing of

components. our favourites are her cute as a button naughts and crosses earrings

and dainty silver freeform brooches, they make perfect presents too, we might add.


Yes i do i work part time at the faerie shop as a faerie helper.


i started making jewellery in 2005 and i started my Little Lari label in 2009. i started

my label then because i think that’s when i found my groove, and made a range of

jewellery that is still popular today.


for inspiration i normally take that from nature, and from what scraps of metal are

sitting on my workbench. My best ideas so far have come from what i have in front

of me, and one of my many ideas floating around in my brain will find it’s way out.

ideas give me sleepless nights.

wow that’s a hard one can i have more than one? the east coast (broad i know but

it is just beautiful) and the top of mount wellington on a clear day, ooh and the

west coast.


i love that i have the freedom to create and that i don’t have anyone telling me

what to do. My little gripe would be that i work from home and i am the best

procrastinator around!! Not a good mix.


i will have my favorites there and i always try and pop in a few new pieces and

some one off designs.

Gorgeous in their simplicity, quiesence candles are made from soy wax (no nasty

chemicals here!) and are housed in a cleverly and purposefully chosen collection

of recycled glassware. the candles are scented with pure essential oil blends….

delightfully delicate, the scents are decadent and gently uplifting at the same time.

Lovely lady behind the label Kate allen, handcrafts all of her products, pouring

each candle into its one-off jar or glass container. quiesence candles look lovely on

their own, but we have to say, rather stunning in twos or threes!

by Kate Allen


i studied science and have worked as a researcher in agriculture for the last ten

years. this is now a part-time job that i balance with quiescence candles.


i poured my first candle almost three years ago and enjoyed the intricate process

of paring up wicks and containers, melting wax, checking temperatures, blending

oils - to my mind it was a bit like cooking (i prefer to follow recipes exactly and

use precise measurements!). that year i made candles to give as gifts to friends

and family. i have always had an appreciation for things handmade, and it was a

great way to experiment with something new, and to receive honest feedback

from people close to me whose input i value and am guided by. My background

has helped me to understand the physical properties of the materials i work with,

and problem-solve some of the many challenges that soy wax can present, but i

have also learned to be guided by my intuition and accept that there will always be

variations from one candle to the next, no matter how accurate my measuring is.

handmade in Tasmania


My inspiration comes from all things natural and respectful to the environment,

expressed foremost through the use of recycled jars, and decision to use soy

wax and pure essential oils. when i first started making candles i used empty jars

and bottles that i already had in the cupboard, instead of buying new glassware.

i quickly developed a love for the vast shapes and designs and started going to

junk shops and garage sales in search of unique and appealing containers that

have had a previous life. fowlers Vacola jars, an iconic australian brand, were the

usual suspects on my travels. the imperfections in the glass hint to the years of use

they have had and create a unique finished product. it is important to me that the

beautiful glasses and jars stay in circulation and continue to be used long after the

candle has been enjoyed.


anyone who shares their creativity with the world. i have a huge respect for the

relationship that craftspeople have developed with their chosen tools and materials.


the people i meet. the experience of collecting preserving jars has been more

enjoyable than i could have imagined. i feel lucky to have the opportunity to

connect with people who once enjoyed preserving as ‘a way of life’, and to

recreate the story of each glass for another generation. the interactions with

people at the market, whether they are seeing my candles for the first time, or are

returning with an empty jar, is also a very rewarding feeling.


each of my candles is hand crafted, and poured into a one-off jar or glass container

that has been purposefully collected. i retail my fowlers Vacola range of candles

through a small number of stockists as well as the market, but i also bring an

assortment of vintage glassware candles to the market that are distinctive in their

shape, colour and design. Lots of thought and energy has gone into sourcing

these, and i hope people enjoy the fun in finding something unique!

Little twig launched their business at the market in 2009 and we have to say they

have developed an almost cult like following since. Must be because their jewellery

+ stationery are always the perfect combination of soft neutral colours, quirky twiggy

style designs and boast a product range that includes a lovely collection of well

thought out pieces. one half graphic designer and one half jeweller, the founding

twigs are always innovative and constantly updating their range with new inspired

new twiggy type designs.

combine forces and see where a jewellery and graphic design venture could lead.

we are inspired by all things twiggy, quirky and fun. we work with a neutral colour

palette and a minimal approach to create products that are beautiful to look at and

make people smile.


our influences and personal tastes can be quite varied, however we have a shared

love of illustration and simplicity that is prominent throughout all of our work.

whilst we draw inspiration from a myriad of artists our collaboration is mostly a

response to our local environment and each other’s personalities.


tasmania is such a unique environment, our favourite thing is that everything is so

accessible! we both love the great outdoors and find all the inspiration we need

literally in our own backyards.


we love that our work is really anything but. we love creating things that we think

are nice and then finding out that other people think so too. our only gripe would

be that there just aren’t enough hours in the day to create all of the new things that

we would love to do and that sometimes, unfortunately, we really do have to sleep.


Visitors to the market can expect to see our ever-expanding range of handcrafted

jewellery including earrings, brooches, pendants, cufflinks and rings as well as our

many illustrated gift cards and tags. we are constantly adding new items to our

collections and love that the market is the perfect platform to test run our new

designs!

the snow queen’s garden has an almost cult like following for her adorable little

handmade decorations. squirrels, birds, Russian inspired matryoshka dolls all get

snapped up in the blink of an eye…no exaggeration. we think it’s because of the

endearing personalities and fine details she bestows on each creature. 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!

No official day job… but mum to two busy young girls. add to that a productive

fruit and vegetable garden needing loads of attention, an energetic little dog,

shift worker husband and all the things i want to stitch, sew, knit, crochet and

embroider… no time for a job!


the seeds for creating embroidered pieces began in 2003, when my husband

was posted out to country Nsw. sewing was a great way to fit into the small local

community. having a new baby and toddler, i was disappointed at the lack of

beautiful, child friendly christmas decorations. in December 2005, i sold some

hand embroidered and beaded felt decorations at my daughters’ day care centre.

when my grandmother passed away several months later, making Russian inspired

felt matryoshka was a way to reconnect with my heritage.

Large part of the inspiration comes from my grandmother’s stories of her

upbringing in st Petersburg, Russian. from my early years she introduced me

to a wealth of Russian fairytales, folklore and contemporary stories. sometimes

inspiration come from changes in my own perspective: finding changes in how

i see patterns swirling in clouds, leaf shadows on a pavement, a moment of

moonlight on a tin roof. it’s finding a moment of stillness to catch that moment and

memorise it. the design then has to be robust for little hands, and pleasing to the

touch.


always changing. in previous years, i have been influenced by stitch work from

Yvette stanton and her Mountmellick embroidery, aimee Ray and Doodlestitching,

tone finnager and her gorgeous colour combinations. forever loving artists, like

Van Gogh, Klimst, Matisse, and hundertwasser.


Geographically speaking, love the mountains. Mt wellington has so many moods

to capture, with snow, rain, mist and rainbows. sometimes all at once. Love the

colours and season at Mt field too. it is wonderful to have four distinct seasons in

a year ( or a day). People also seem to have a more balance outlook on life, being

able to embrace a lifestyle rather than just living to work.


simply put – i love making stuff – taking a piece of felt, a sliver of wool, thread,

beads and turning it into something that makes people smile. My only gripe is my

ambitions often outpace my abilities – got some great ideas using a welder, angle

grinder and heap of scrap metal. Maybe one day ….

Julia Dineen is not only a very clever + talented lady (an award winning graphic

designer didn’t you know?) but she also has a lovely joyful sense of humour and the

ability to create a certain mood or atmosphere through her fun designer prints and

stationery. we like her use of spot on phrases and splashes of colour that brighten

up even the dullest day.

preferably in texta.


the seed was planted many many moons ago and recently came into bloom in

2011, with the goal of being able to realize my own day to day creative musings

and thoughts.


inspiration comes from the everyday, comments from a passing stranger, an

overheard conversation in a café or the passing of time. colours, light, shapes and

patterns evolve from memories and muddled ramblings pieced together.

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!

My morning noon and night job is my crafting/making/creating.


i started seriously hand crafting 7 years ago, selling at local markets to support

myself while doing fine arts at the university of tasmania. i figured i’d rather

try and earn money by making and creating than washing dishes. Dishes may

have been more lucrative there for a while, but my creative soul was happier. i

moved through making handbound leather journals and all sorts of vintage fabric

reincarnations – bags, badges, birds, to creating unique sterling silver jewellery.


the natural environment is an endless source of inspiration for me. tasmania’s

landscape is so rich and diverse. from the tiny pebbles and aged driftwood on the

beach to the varied and intriguing rock formations of Mt wellington.


contemporary jewellers that i admire for their play with the natural world are beth

Legg, Marian hosking and Julie blyfield. their works have a purity of form, yet are

also delicate and intricate.


it’s a toss up between bruny island and schouten island. Maybe schouten for sunny

summer days and waterfall-edge rockpools and bruny for wild wintery days, crazy

skies and roaring surf.


i feel very privileged to be in a situation where i can be creative for a living. i have

a fantastic studio that looks over the river Derwent. i love the endlessly changing

light on the water and the far hills. it’s very calm, and also inspiring. My only gripes

are deadlines, why do they come around so fast?!


My newest range of jewellery using sterling silver and embedded resin, as well as

pieces incorporating polymer clay; all created with a nod to this beautiful land we

live in.

Rebecca Roth creates a series of contemporary designs in resin, with a focus on

vibrancy and texture. her handcrafted signature line of colourful jewellery is

incredibly popular, and for good reason… with a palette that spans pretty much the

entire colour spectrum, and a product range that includes staples to statemental,

bold bright accessory lovers need look no further.

2006. whilst on maternity leave i started a hobby in jewellery making. this grew

over time and here i am today running a small business, oops!


My inspiration comes beaches, coastlines and foreshores. My new hobby is

beachcombing for glass, stones and pebbles that i can mould and turn into new

jewellery pieces. colour inspiration also plays in a big part of what i do, i am often

captivated by certain tones in nature.

last year i expanded and launched my online store.


simplicity of style and an almost extreme plainness is the core of my inspiration.

i’ve always drawn inspiration from nature and in particular the raw australian

landscape and our unique flora and fauna. following this interest and an

environmental consciousness led to the discovery of several independent textile

designers. each of my products combines high quality materials and components

featuring unique hand screen printed, ethically produced and sustainable fabrics

such as organic cotton, linen and hemp.


i absolutely adore the work of designer and artist Julie Paterson, from cloth.

another favourite is stewart Russell who heads up spacecraft, and his team of

designer/makers hand screen printing onto any surface that attracts their attention

such as fabric, concrete, wood, paper and glass. Lara cameron and tegan Rose,

owners and designers of ink & spindle are two girls i admire too.


i love the search for beautiful textiles and being surrounded by them in my studio,

sometimes hard to part with! i love the process of making that fabric come alive

into a creation, that other people can enjoy. i simply love sewing – does wonders

for the mind and soul!


i’m always on the lookout for new textiles and have some beautiful new colourways

and designs to create into gorgeous homewares and accessories. i’m currently

working on some new designs and hope to bring those to the market too.

Phat flats really are phat….and joyful and fun and as bright as a button too. hobart

graphic designer and talented illustrator cathy Mcauliffe produces a range of

greeting cards, gift wrap, art prints and gift tags that always hit the proverbial nail

on the head. the best thing about her cards (in our humble opinion anyway,) is that

her range seems to provide the appropriate card for every occasion, or person…

best friend, great grandfather, the weird neighbor down the street…fun, quirky and

individual cards for everyone.

i am a graphic designer, living in lovely hobart with my two kids and hubby. in the

time i don’t spend at the park or on the beach doing kid’s stuff, i work from the

home office doing a mix of my design business, cathy Mcauliffe Design and my

cards business, Phat flats. the graphic design is really my day job but because i

get to create illustrations for clients and love incorporating these into design and

branding, it really doesn’t feel like a ‘day job’.


creating graphic design and illustrations for clients and business is endless fun but

i am always responding to a brief, design considerations, limitations, budgets and

even just personal taste and opinion! i wanted to create a creative outlet for my

artwork where i got to work on things that interest me, without having to run it past

anyone. when the cards are printed though, i love getting feedback and responses

to the work from customers and store owners. that’s why i love being involved in

the Market, especially when people are excited by a new range of designs.


Phat flats imagery is inspired by old advertising posters, the graphic patterns of

Dwell studio and Marimekko, the wobbly lines of Julia Rothman, the items and

objects in everyday life and the beautiful surrounds of hobart, tasmania!


this changes all the time, but the well-worn favourite designers include

scandinavian graphic influences of olle eksell, alexander Girard and Draw Pilgram.

Retro stuff and nice linework by Kilowatt Kat, house industries and evan hecox.

architecture and furniture by arthur erikson, charles and Ray eames, enzo Mari

and George Nelson. beautiful architectural magazines are always around our house

(architect husband) with favourites of Monument and Dwell. i love to curl up with

the house mags such as Real Living! there’s always a massive list of blogs featuring

lovely eye candy stacked up in my ‘reading list’, plus favourite online magazines

including biG and LMNoP. inspiration for making kid stuff usually starts with these

two magazines and a personal favourite, Made by Joel.


creating art prints has been a super exciting part of the business. i have also loved

learning more about the website and how i can add some interesting one-off

goodies – watch this space! one thing i am not so good at getting in to see my

local store people to show them new ranges or to restock their current cards!


well, this year i will be concentrating on developing gorgeous pick-up gifts. You

can also buy lovely gift boxes of Phat flats cards, plus a new range of small gift

tags. there will be a few surprises too as i have some new ideas i would like to test!

Jemma clements brings a distinctively fresh style to the world of glass blowing.

trained under renowned glass artist, and father, Richard clements, Jemma has

embarked on a career which has seen her selling her intricately handcrafted pieces

interstate and internationally. her products include a bright colourful range of

jewellery, bespoke perfume bottles and gorgeous decorations. all with Jemma’s

strong original sense of style, focusing on spontaneity, light and colour.


i was working full time as a glass artist but since the birth of my two daughters, i am

currently working part-time.


surrounded by the natural beauty of the huon Valley, i grew up in a family that was

passionate about glass. i always knew i wanted to pursue a career in glass so in

1995 i embarked upon an apprenticeship with my father, Richard clements.

in the beginning i focussed primarily on perfume bottles, selling both interstate

and internationally. after many years i discovered bead making and was instantly

hooked! Pursuing bead making enables me to combine my love of fashion with

my work. i spent every saturday of my childhood at salamanca Market “helping”

behind the stall. it was a natural progression for me to have my own market stalls. i

love the whole process from making to selling and interacting with customers.

as mentioned i was initially inspired by my family’s love of glass. i feel fortunate to

have had a trade as well as a creative passion passed down to me. My father and

i share a workshop in franklin and he inspires me always. we both influence each

other’s work. i also have my own workshop at home now, which is great as it gives

me more time to tinker on my work. i endeavor to have a strong, original sense of

style. i want my work to be a celebration of the medium.


tasmania is overflowing with talented artisans. while there are many excellent

designers interstate, i think it is great to celebrate tasmania’s exceptional local

designers. i admire Richard clements, carmen blythe, Natalie holtsbaum,

emily snadden, My Mother Mabel, Little Lari, Roger webb and alex + Marion

ceramics…i could go on and on! i love anything Japanese, especially Japanese

hand made beads. the skill and their attention to detail are phenomenal.


i just adore tasmania now, when i was younger i took it for granted. we are blessed

with beautiful beaches, amazing wilderness and an extraordinary way of life. My

favourite part of tasmania now would have to be MoNa. i love everything about

it; the building, the art and the artefacts, the food and wine, everything. it is world

class and out in berridale…amazing!!


being self-employed is wonderful, although not being paid for sick days is quite

upsetting! when i am feeling uninspired it can be difficult to motivate myself. that

is probably one of the more challenging aspects of being self-employed.


a wide variety of my work including a full range of my bight, colourful studs,

sterling silver and hand blown bead necklaces and perfume bottles.

Kelly smith is the incredible illustrator behind the birdy & Me label. with a

seriously impressive list of clients (Vogue, h&M, L’avion) Kelly focuses on fashion

that are whimsical, beautiful and inspiring all at once. this year she has delved

into homewares (yay!) and has teamed up with Lauren stevenson to produce a

collaborative collection of cushions and bags under their brand new offshoot label

‘Dancing at Dusk’….we’re excited!

b&M : i graduated from art school itching to start drawing again after 4 years of

focusing primarily on photography and graphic design. i started a blog and etsy

store to display and sell my work and things progressed from there!

D@D: we are brand new, launching our products this feb at the market. our

business blossomed from a conversation about how badly we wanted to design

and create our own products so we thought ‘why not!’ and went for it.


b&M: My work has quite a soft aesthetic; it’s very monochrome with subtle pops

of colour. i find most of my inspiration in fashion, film and fairytales. i’m literally

addicted to fashion magazines so photography always plays a huge part in my

process. i like to create a strong sense of character and whimsy in my girls!

D@D: both of us are very inspired by colour and pattern. it’s quite a girly aesthetic,

but with a lot of tribal, bohemian influences.


we love the work of Kat Macleod, Julie Verhoeven, stina Persson, Kate banazi and

David Downton. they use colour amazingly well.


both of us would probably say salamanca or the huge amount of coastline. Give us

some sun, a park or a beach and we’re happy.


b&M: the fact that i get paid to do what is essentially my hobby is pretty much the

best thing ever! of course no job is ever perfect, we all get that difficult client, or

unexpected deadline. but i wouldn’t trade jobs with anyone! (apart from maybe

anna wintour)

D@D: at the moment everything is so new and exciting it’s hard to find any

negatives. as with any new business, we’re sure to hit a few bumps in the road as

we continue to learn more about it. we’ll get back to you on that one!


we’re launching with a range of cushions, zip bags and cards in two different

ranges. we have the ‘tigerlily’ range which has a bit of a Navajo vibe, and our

‘sweet Nectar’ range which is all about blossoms and colour.

Red wren Designs are the bees knees in that lovely cosy kind of homewares, that

make your home feel lived in and special. we love the simple and beautiful linen,

the bright splashes of colour, the natural aesthetic and how all of anna’s designs

just seem to be spot on – and limited run!

i work a couple of days a week on my business, a couple of hours in the office for

our farm business and the rest being a mum to my beautiful one year old daughter.


Red wren Designs was officially launched in early 2009. i had been dabbling and

developing designs for some time before this but it was a small outdoor market

in northern tasmania which saw the launch of the business. since then Red wren

Designs has been a regular stall holder at various markets in tasmania, my products

are stocked in a handful of galleries and gift shops throughout the state and orders

are sent around the world through sales generated on my online etsy shop.

after completing a screen printing course in Melbourne i began to develop

designs and experiment with the printing process and various fibers. i now only

print onto 100% natural linen which complements the designs well, i love the raw

natural qualities of linen and it has certainly been well received by customers.

simplistic design, bold vintage/retro patterns, scandinavian design, nature

especially plant and leaf shapes, dried seedhead from the garden.


florence broadhurst, orla Keily, heather Moore, sanna annuka.


Very hard to single out one place there are too many! walls of Jersusalem, Pieman

River - west coast, the Gardens – east coast.


i love the whole process from finalising a sketch to cutting a new stencil and the

excitement of seeing the first print of a new stencil. i love being in my printing

space, cups of tea, good music - a lovely way to spend time.


100% linen homewares – tea towels, placemats, napkins, handmade cushions. i

also look forward to providing a sneek peek of my new range of designs at the July

Market.

Possibly the cutest wares we’ve ever come across, Little snoring products turn

us all into panda loving, simpering sillies. while her homewares and clothing

are super fun and gorgeously made, it is her tiny pocket pandas and endearingly

snooty little french Poodles that really hit a nerve. edwina Morris designs all her

products with a good dose of whimsy and a fearless approach to colour. she also

has the knack of constantly evolving and creating totally irresistible items that you

just have to have.

Bruny Island and the Channel.


I really like connecting with people, having a conversation about one of my products

or something completely unrelated. Talking, meeting customers and watching them

walk away with something that really appeals to them that I have made is a very

lovely experience.

On the downside I don’t really like filing or putting the washing away.


Lots of new things plus some of my favourites from the past.

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.

i admire and gain constant inspiration from local and international designers. i love

alexander calder’s jewellery and the freedom in which he crafted metal, this is a

design aesthetic i aspire to. i also love the artwork of Del Kathryn barton.


tasmania is my home and where i have spent most of my life. i feel connected to

this place, its people, the land, and of course the weather!


i love creating jewellery due to the intricate nature of the craft and the passion i

have for collecting natural curiosities. there nothing i can complain about!


Many pretty jewels made from recycled sterling silver, recycled perspex, glass,

moth and butterfly wings and feathers. this range of jewellery is inspired by the

ideal of immortalising the beauty of butterflies and birds. hopefully some other

surprises too!

Lara carbone creates original artworks and adorable little bundles of whimsy to

i am currently attending university in hobart, tasmania so as to obtain a bfa in

photography, which is one of my other passions. My approach to photography

is similar to the approach i have when i create my designs. i actively participate

in each creation. in fact, my photographs are often self-portraits combined to

elements that derive from the world of dreams, childhood memories mixed with

imagination and fairy tales.


i began to create different types of objects, draw and take photographs ever since

i can remember. i grew up with a mother who adored painting and a grandmother

who loved every form of art. art, therefore, has always been part of my everyday

life. i completed numerous art courses when i was a child and subsequently

enrolled at an italian secondary school, which lasted five years, specializing in art

subjects, especially illustration and modelling.

this was the start of what has turned out to be the path which led to curmilla

Designs & illustrations, where i express myself freely and share the joy and oddity

of “my” world by creating little stories to wear, to display and to share.

My inspirations always spark from my childhood memories which are tied either to

what i actually experienced or to my dreams; stories and moments linked to facts,

things that really happened or on the contrary that are totally invented, taken from

books of folktales or simply from my imagination. My inspiration is my world, made

of animals that can talk, plants that can move and of course the wind, which is the

best ballad singer ever.


i admire a multitude of contemporary designers, however, my favourite is probably

Donna wilson, who was the winner of “british Designer of the Year 2010”.


My favourite part of tasmania… is tasmania! i adore this island and one thing that

i could never do without is the feeling you have when you drive from one town to

another enjoying the ever changing landscape. it’s amazing and unique!


what i love most about handmade items is that all handmade items are unique

and unrepeatable, just like human beings. each and every one of us is unique and

unrepeatable, and this is what makes us all so special. whoever decides to buy

handmade items chooses to recognize a person’s creativity and to reward the time

and the passion that each designer puts into each creation.


they can just about expect anything and i have to admit it’s true! what they can

surely find is a variety of unique and unrepeatable objects for grown-ups and

children, created by an “almost grown-up” who remains a child at heart.

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. they love

the qualities of materials like old clothes and unwanted books that can only come

with age. 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.

i love doing what i do. i work from my studio in my garden and it is great being

able to be flexible with family and work. the only downside is that sometimes i

get a little carried away in my studio, and my housework doesn’t get done. it often

looks like a tornado has hit. i also dislike the bookwork and paperwork that comes

with running a business.


of course i will have my jewellery range, which i wholesale to various outlets.

but for the market i will also be offering some limited edition and one-off jewellery

pieces, along with a small collection of homewares, including mugs, plates and

bowls. and don’t forget christmas ornaments at the end of the year.

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 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.

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.

holly webber is a freelance graphic designer and art director. holly graduated from the university of tasmania with a bachelor of fine arts (Graphic Design and Photography) in 2004.

holly has been able to combine her love of photography and design to create clean, intricate and vibrant patterns from her botanical photographs. under her self-titled label she has developed a range of products using these colourful designs, including accessories, limited edition artworks and stationery.

she is constantly adding new products to her range – including more recently a quirky illustrated stationery line titled ‘Letterbox Love’, sparked by a love of receiving good old-fashioned mail – guaranteed to raise a smile.
