with a product line-up including art, jewellery,

photography, home wares, clothing, lighting and even a

mini pop up shop…we can’t wait to sink our teeth into

another year of showcasing the independent, small in scale

but big on talent types we’re proud to have in tasmania.

Do have a flick through our look book, it will tell you who’s

exhibiting what, along with some pretty product images to

whet your appetite for what’s on offer come market day.

You’ll see that while our stable of designers differ creatively

in almost every way, they all have a common thread;

creative talent, a demonstrated integrity in their business

ethos and original thought in their design process.

looking forward to an exciting year ahead,

Shannon + Holly

What does your Work / studio space look like?

last June, i moved into an unused living room in our c1883 home and it is so much better than ‘the sweatshop’. the new ‘studio’, is 5m x 5.5m and is perfect...11 foot ceilings, white wide plank floorboards, white walls and an original plank ceiling left in it’s original wood state. there is a fireplace with a slow combustion wood fire and a huge old coogans dining table that i have re-purposed as a work table. i now have a dedicated office space in here too, instead of trying to do it all on the one table. this room is full of light and i constantly feel inspired when i am in here...the beloved kiln is in our backyard. all of the work for marley & lockyer is done from here...by me and my hands.

J a n a & B o d i e by Jana Gowans

Jana and bodie is the young, contemporary

jewellery label created by the clever Jana

definitely on our wish list. we can’t wait to see

their exciting new additions for 2013.

Who’s your favourite tasmanian designer / maker + Why?

simon ancher by far. the amazing quality of design coming out of his studio is in a class of its own. his integration of materials is seamless and his contemporary furniture/object works showcase a brilliant tasmanian designer with innovative design solutions.

J a n a & B o d i e

e l l i o t t M y d e a rby Sarah & Hamish Elliott

the ever evolving duo sarah and hamish elliott

create original artwork prints and accessories

that are colourful, detailed and in a rather

beautiful way, just a bit melancholy. using a

combination of traditional oil painting on linen,

watercolours and drawing, their label elliott

my Dear manages to evoke a lovely nostalgic

feeling, and a gentleness which we love.

What does your Work / studio space look like?

with two homeschool kids and a baby i work when and where i can! we have a lovely old 1800’s dinning table that is huge and beautiful; my work is small so i love it when my young creatives make paintings on there too! i like to live with my paintings for a while and have them around me before they go out into the world...

Dick + Dora may be best known for their

hugely popular and (huge in size!) christmas

stylish homes and retailers nationwide. we

tasmania’s best kept secret?

the sandstone formations at the northern of the Dennison beach on the east coast- they have amazed me since i was a kid. worth the walk.

on a completely different note lou’s amazing merchandising at her oyster & pearl shop makes a visit there truly something special. she has created an inspirational space – it’s like a secret world of its own.

S e a S o u l S t u d i oby Sarah Woodward

sarah woodward from sea soul studio hand

crafts a gorgeous collection of bespoke

porcelain jewellery, that is influenced strongly

by the southern beaches of tasmania where she

lives. along with a lovely coastal vibe, sarah’s

pieces are gorgeously individual, just a little bit

quirky and eminently wearable. personally, we

happen to be extra fond of the current blue in

her collection – which sarah describes as just

like her collection of striped cornish ware.

[email protected]

facebook.com/sarahseasoulstudio

What can We expect to see you exhibiting?

my signature pieces: retro bicycle brooches, red love hearts as earrings, rings and pendants, textured and imprinted porcelain pendants on long linen cords (with adjustable length, perfect for layering). also my new airplant vessels and i promise a sneek peek at a new line or two, first dibs for the market customers!

ifourletterwordyou designer rosie shield

describes herself as a jewellery designer,

drawer, mother, nail polish addict, drinker,

who has just discovered a love of tattooing.

we’d describe her as incredibly talented and

seriously intriguing. her collection of jewels

and bags are full of one of a kind statement

pieces, that are modern, out there and just a

little bit rock star.

What colour palette Will you be incorporating into your designs for 2013?

my jewellery and accessories range (including new huge knitted clutches!) incorporate colours galore...and plenty of black, antique glass, builders rope and the odd piece of plastic.

P h a t F l a t S by Cathy McAuliffe

phat flats was created back in 2008 after

graphic designer and illustrator cathy mcauliffe

struggled to find good greeting cards for men

and boys. her joyful range has now expanded

to over 30 designs covering pretty much

any occasion we can think of! each design is

lovingly drawn, painted and coloured, then

applied to greeting cards, gift cards, wrapping

paper and art prints.

What does your Work / studio space look like?

my studio takes up most of the sunny spare room at our house, it’s got lots of large bench space to laying out drawings and designs. a comfy reading armchair with magazine collection and a long thin pinboard which gets attacked regularly with the latest snippet of inspiration, drawing or postcard.

little twig are hobart-based design duo, emily

snadden and peta owen. through a mutual love

of illustration & design and a refreshingly natural

aesthetic, they have developed a range of hand

crafted jewellery and a collection of greeting

beautifully twiggy, all feature original illustrations

and are produced locally in tasmania.

favourite tasmanian designer / maker + Why?

that’s a tough one, there is so much local talent! we do love the illustrations of kelly smith (birdy & me) and beth-emily, and hiiragi’s fabulous felt minions - three very talented ladies.

a collaboration

blueprint began as a collaborative design-and-

make project between a handful of talented

women and it quickly grew into a flourishing

micro business. producing limited runs of unique

garments with a flair for unusual cuts, interesting

textures and spot on colours, blueprint clothes

are designed to empower. what we find

empowering is their heartfelt approach to their

label. the girls say they find the design and

sewing process both liberating and expressive

and describe blueprint as ‘an emotional ship

sailing in the deep blue sea’.

if you could live anyWhere in the World, Where Would it be and Why?

i love living in tasmania and i don’t want to change that, but if i had to choose somewhere, i dare say it might be paris. i would go crazy browsing all the goodies at the flea markets and eating wheels of stinky cheese.

u n i o by Anne Langman

anne langman spent five years immersed in the

gemstone filled alleyways of the local markets in

cairo, egypt. she has poured this experience into

her vibrant and bold collection of jewels, which

she exhibits under her unio label. an unexpected

contrasting of various components means that

anne’s designs are always fresh and innovative.

colourful brazilian palm nuts, chunky gemstones,

pearls and sterling silver all come together in a

spot on and extremely distinctive fashion.

What colour palette + materials Will you be incorporating into your designs for 2013?

lots of blues with lime and orange, the brighter the better. i will be working with brightly coloured semi-precious stones, with a preference for hand cut, and my favourite brazilian palm nuts sourced from fair trade and environmentally conscience suppliers.

by Daniel Purton & Zoe Smith

with a combined background in illustration,

graphic design, furniture design and

printmaking, Daniel and Zoe felt compelled

to find a way of living a life of creative

productivity, with an emphasis on long-lasting

products produced in as sustainable a manner

as possible. their textile range is produced

on the premise that it allows them to indulge

their urge to play with ideas and solve design

challenges. work should be fun. amen to that!

What does your Work / studio space look like?

we have two production hubs: the brain and the brawn. ‘brain’ is the study/office, where we draw, manipulate, and design. post-it notes, tracing paper, light-box, scanner, ink and brushes, computer, sewing machine, pinboard stuffed with jots and sketches, current orders and inspiration pin-ups. ‘brawn’ is the printing studio, where the ideas emerge onto textiles with a magical flourish of a squeegee.

What does your Work / studio space look like?

honestly? my work space is usually the kitchen bench! true story.

i have a table all set up in the spare bedroom but because it's not a room i spend a lot of time and so working in there feels weird... so, i migrated out into the next room–the kitchen! our kitchen is at the back of the house looking out over our garden so the light is beautiful and perfect for taking and styling images for the online side of things. it's also become a place where i can steal small snippets of time to work when i need to throughout the day without my little helper! (though i have to say he has become very fond of playing shop, stamping business cards and tagging stock!) at market time i seem to occupy every usable surface between the kitchen and the lounge room... ask my husband an he'll tell you that i'm like that all year round! but then like magic it all somehow fits into the back of our car!

and at the market we’re lucky enough to have a

brilliant barista service to make it go round that

little bit better! simone Daly, the baristasista

seriously good coffee, tea, chai, hot chocolates,

or anything in between! a welcome fixture at

the market is carefully curated by shannon robertson & holly webber, who are committed in their mission to unearthing and showing off tasmania’s veritable web of undiscovered talent, world-class products and the intriguing stories and inspiration behind the commercial reality of small scale designers and makers.

alongside co-curating the market, holly & shannon both run successful small businesses of their own and bring to the market their skills in graphic design, journalism, advertising, creative writing and marketing. this helps them to provide exhibitors with a platform, valuable exposure and a reach for their products that extends beyond market day.

shannon robertson is the whimsical designer behind the fashion accessories label, whatever heather.

launched in the summer of 2008 whatever heather is a confident, fiercely pretty label full of the eclectic and the intriguing,and well known for its decidedly quirky outlook and daintily dishevelled aesthetic.

shannon produces bespoke seasonal ranges for stockists nation – wide, and a coveted heather forever collection, available from her online shop.

whatever heather is created from her attic studio in battery point, which is overflowing with all manner of shannon type inspiration...oversized flowers, swans, chandeliers, battered crowns, and sometimes (if he fancies) her imperious but seriously beloved ginger cat raspberry can be found perched on her desk, playing muse.

alongside these creative pursuits, shannon also works in an old fashioned antique shop on hobart’s waterfront.

holly webber is a freelance graphic designer and art director. a graduate of the university of tasmania with a bachelor of fine arts (graphic Design and photography - 2004), she has spent the past eight years building up her design practice, delivering creative solutions for clients on a state and national level.

alongside this, under her self-titled label, holly has developed a range of handmade products, which draw on her design and photographic abilities. these works can be found in retail boutiques and online stores both locally and nationally.

holly is a keen supporter of the graphic design and advertising industry, volunteering her time as the current elected state president of the australian graphic Design association (agDa).

she loves all things 'clean and green' and is currently also studying to become a health coach...for something a bit different!
