by Emily Arlotte
butterflies and birds form the cornerstone of emily arlotte’s self titled jewellery
collection. and we don’t mean depictions of…literally bird’s feathers and butterfly
wings (ethically sourced we might add) set delicately in beautifully recycled silver,
glass and perspex. such interesting and elaborate components require just the
right kind of settings and emily does this to perfection, taking nothing away from
the raw beauty and individuality of nature.

by Emily Snadden
emily snadden is a contemporary jeweller and a brilliant one at
that. she is award winning (more than once!) and her work reflects
a love and response to the flora and architecture of tasmania. this
is contrasted with a sleek, clean geometric style of manufacture
and means that her pieces are both polished but slightly
organic…very beautiful. statemental cuffs, delicate layered flower
rings and pretty brushed silver seedpod earrings are some of our
picks from the range, but truth be told, it’s all incredible.

important when we’re talking purses!) this year, we’re pleased to say, Giggling
Gertie designer calista anderson-Leitch is also producing cushions and lovely
collared tops to keep her range of bags company.

local markets in cairo, egypt...lucky anne! and lucky for us she has poured this
experience into her vibrant, bold and unexpected 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.

Mabel duo Dave boyer and Jemima wagner began their creative process with some dirty
old ply and acrylic, a handheld drill and an upside-down floor sander. while that might not
appeal to some, this refreshingly organic/nitty gritty approach, combined with a sincere
and ethical design process and some interesting aesthetical influences has resulted in a
range of jewels that are totally original and supremely cool. featuring stacked layers of
timber pared with fun pops of coloured resin, Mabel wares are a perfect example of good
australian design…an awesome product with a feel good ethos behind it.

Possibly the cutest wares we’ve ever come across, Little snoring products turn
us all into panda loving, simpering sillies. while her homewares and clothing
are super fun and gorgeously made, it is her tiny pocket pandas and endearingly
snooty little french Poodles that really hit a nerve. edwina Morris designs all her
products with a good dose of whimsy and a fearless approach to colour. she also
has the knack of constantly evolving and creating totally irresistible items that you
just have to have.

their range of original paintings and watercolours, many
inspired by sarah’s childhood are sublime….think a 19th

established in april 2009 – the market is a boutique art
and design event, held 6 times a year in the intriguing
Masonic temple. the market creators, shannon
Robertson and holly webber, both run successful small
businesses of their own, so understood the need for and
were intent on creating, a high integrity market, where
quality up-and-coming tasmanian artists, designers and
makers could get the right sort of exposure.
the market strives to keep its focus on boutique, high
quality products, made with integrity, original thought
and professionalism. while the exhibitors are extremely
varied in their fields (think fashion illustration to bespoke
ceramics), all belong to a similar ilk, which reflect the
core values of the market, to present customers with the
cream of the crop of art & Design in tasmania.
holly and shannon are committed to their mission of
showcasing and celebrating the abundance of talent
tucked away in tasmania, and are forever seeking new
exhibitors, who have something wonderful and unique
to offer the marketplace.
with an exciting and interesting lineup of labels for 2012,
featuring a new selection of exhibitors at each event,
visitors can head to the market knowing that what’s on
offer is indeed a snapshot of the vibrant art and design
scene in tasmania.
shannon Robertson, is the whoever behind the whimsical fashion label, whatever heather.
Launched in the summer of 2008, whatever heather is a confident, youthful label full of intrigue and whimsy, known for its decidedly feminine outlook with a dash of dark dishevelment.
wh produces bespoke seasonal ranges which are stocked in select boutiques around australia. in addition to the seasonal wh offerings, the heather forever collection (available online) boasts an eclectic and constantly evolving range of favourite pieces.
shannon creates wh from her attic studio in hobart’s battery Point, which is filled with all manner of inspiration...flowers, chandeliers, battered crowns, and sometimes (if he fancies) her imperious ginger cat/occasional muse, named Raspberry.
holly webber is a freelance graphic designer and art director. holly graduated from the university of tasmania with a bachelor of fine arts (Graphic Design and Photography) in 2004.
holly has been able to combine her love of photography and design to create clean, intricate and vibrant patterns from her botanical photographs. under her self-titled label she has developed a range of products using these colourful designs, including accessories, limited edition artworks and stationery.
she is constantly adding new products to her range – including more recently a quirky illustrated stationery line titled ‘Letterbox Love’, sparked by a love of receiving good old-fashioned mail – guaranteed to raise a smile.

Kevin McCloud’s 43 Principles of Home
demand to know where things
come from, what is in them,
who has made them and under
what conditions.
do not be led only by price but
look for value and craftsmanship.
Buy only things and materials that
respect the human energy that
has gone into them and where
the maker is rewarded fairly.
