The Makers and Shakers Market
This design-focused favourite makes a return to Melbourne, featuring over 100 stalls showcasing handmade and locally made wares.
Overview
The Makers and Shakers Market is cooking up a big return to Melbourne this March, complete with more than 100 stalls filled with handmade goods — spanning everything from clothing to candles.
Shoppers at the two-day market at the Seaworks Maritime Precinct will be able to peruse stalls featuring Australian-made wares, and also participate in creative workshops and product tastings. And, you can listen to DJ sets and have a drink at the outdoor bar as well.
Vendors include sellers like Tiny Pots, a quarantine-conceived business that creates functional ceramics between one and four centimetres tall; and East Forged, which makes organic nitrogen tea that mimics the look and taste of beer. Obviously, the list goes on.
This edition of Makers and Shakers is a joint venture with The Slow Fashion Market, an event dedicated ethical and sustainably made clothing. And, it has been certified by the Australian Made campaign, which means that it will showcase only genuine locally made products.
It all takes place from 10am–5pm on Saturday, March 26–Sunday, March 27, with entry to the market costing $4 for adults.
