Onย Saturday 5 December join Megan Morton in celebratingย eight of the most talented Australian makers, as sheย hosts The Maker + The Market to align with the book launch of The Maker by craft-queenย Tamara Maynes.
Taking place atย The School in Sydney’s Rosebery from 10am-to-5pm, eight creatives (who feature in Tamara’s book) will be hosting a stall each, demonstrating their creative process and showcasing the fruits of their labour.ย The stalls will cover a diverse cross-section of mediums ranging from ceramics, leather, paper mache, paper-sculpture, shibori dyeing and extreme knitting.
โThe day wonโt be a standard market,” explains Tamara. “But more of a curated celebratory event focused around the book, with eight of the very special makers featured in my book at the market telling their stories and sharing their creative process.โ
Makers includeย Jacqui Fink,ย a crafter of hand knitted oversized textiles and installations;ย Pepa Martin,ย creators of limited edition, hand bound and dyed shibori leather products;ย andย Forty Nine Studio, designers ofย ceramic tableware, bowls, serving dishes and platters that are designed for everyday use.
Tamara, the brains behind the pages of theย soonย to be released The Makerย will be there on the day, sharingย her experiences of documenting the special projects that are inside the cover. From 4pm The Schoolย will hostย drinks and a book signing.
