February is the perfect time to get involved, with the market showing off a whopping 200 new local makers (lockdown’s worked wonders). Head down there, peruse the flashy stalls, and collect, source and commission some unique handmade works that will transform your domain.
There’s usually a bit of everything on offer, from homewares to sustainable fashion to one-off jewellery to paintings. In keeping with the times, the market also has a fantastic online store that’s set up as a rather beautiful web gallery, you can check that out here.
What’s more, it’s planning on expanding its horizons beyond Melbourne’s artsy mecca Fitzroy and the organisers say they’ll be popping up all over Melbourne soon, so stay tuned through their socials here.
