It’s here again! Time passes by so quickly it’s hard to believe the October show is only one day away.  The Handmade Show committee have been busily organising & promoting the show and processing new applications. I’m looking forward to meeting new stallholders & browsing their creations.

There’s also a fabulous prize to win. Everyone who comes to THS will be given a free entry into the draw to win a $40 Gift Voucher. This is a great giveaway but to be in it to win you need to come to the show.   More Info Here.

Don’t forget – this is an Indoor show so you can Browse through at a leisurely pace, chat with the crafters & artisans, enjoy a drink from the bar …. and enter the giveaway – it’s a free entry plus you receive an extra 2 entries with every purchase. Sounds good to me! You’re sure to have a fabulous time

Of course, EP Designs will be there so come along and say ‘Hi’ to us.

… Do you design and hand craft quality products? Do you live in Melbourne and looking for a warm, friendly and exciting place to exhibit & sell your wares?

The Handmade Show could be just for you. This is where we showcase the talents of local artisans and crafters.  Perhaps you would like to join us!

Our focus is on quality handmade products, and we love to exhibit a large range of crafts. We are on the lookout for unique, well made products that are locally made in Melbourne.

As you would know, most markets charge you a fee for holding a stall. The Handmade Show operates a little differently because we (the artists & crafters) run the market ourselves. We are a non-profit group that all share the responsibilities of running The Show, and therefore a donation from each of our stallholders is requested to go back into the general costs of running The Show. A portion of this also goes back into the RSL.

Interested in becoming a stallholder or would like to know more? Please visit The Handmade Show blog to register your interest, and you will be sent an application kit!

Crafters on the South East side of Melbourne have long awaited for a show of their very own. This is not a market but a showing or exhibition by a collective group of creative people who beautifully & lovingly create their own wares to the highest quality and of original designs. Many of their works are One-Of-A-Kind and all have their own unique style.

The Handmade Show  is here to showcase the talents that are blooming around Melbourne, especially on the South Eastern side of Melbourne. It’s a petite show of grand proportions by a friendly group who are passionate about their creative work.

Here is part of the creative ensemble -

Celeste from Little Waltz
Kerri from Vintage Sew and So
Celeste fromBowerbird inc
Jade from Holi Goddess
Elena from EP Designs

There will be a limited number of contributors at each show because that is how Celeste of Little Waltz, and creator of this new show, has intended it to be.  A maximum of ten contributors will participate at each show.

We have enjoyed each others company and are enthusiastic in supporting & encouraging one another in our endeavours.

Our next showing is being organised for March. Stay tuned for all the details.

….On the South East side of Melbourne!

The premier of an exciting new show.

Come along and join us for a chat and refreshments while viewing gorgeous creative works by our contributors.

Hope to see you there!
