Five fresh new Handmade Market stalls
Posted on
Things made organically, things made from things that used to be other things, jewellery, homewares, rugs and things for babies.
That’s right, it’s time for another Handmade Markets so clear your weekend across 12 and 13 March and head down to Exhibition Park in Mitchell. I chatted with Julie Nichols, Creative Director of the Handmade Markets, and these were some of her many recommendations for new and unique wares that you may not have seen before at Handmade or elsewhere.
Chrysa Koukoura
“Chyrsa makes a great range of hand drawn, paper on pencil art,” says Julie, “which she sells as individual pieces, as cards and stencils. These images are really pretty, and need to be seen to be properly appreciated.”
