space, her focus is on subtlety of design. the

what does your work / studio space look like?
my studio space is what you'd call a dumping ground, there's an old piano, surfboard, tins of house paint and loads of boxes filled with unwanted toys. there are however essentials such as a huge 3 metre length table for laying and cutting fabric, my trusty sewing machines and my ever faithful t-shirt carousel for screen printing. messy or clean, it still is my favourite room.

fun and chic reminder of our island home.

what colour palette will you be incorporating into your designs for 2013?
i’m so in love with colour and i’m working with gelato shades throughout summer while continuing my exploration into typography.
M A B E Lby Dave Boyer
mabel designer dave boyer began his 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 acrylic, mabel wares are a perfect
example of good australian design…an awesome
product with a feel good ethos behind it.

by Edwina Morris
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 designs all her
products with a good dose of whimsy and a
fearless approach to colour.

what colour palette / materials will you be incorporating into your designs for 2013?

if you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be + why?
a remote lighthouse. i think they are architecturally beautiful and their histories are fascinating, as is the landscapes they are sited in. and i like the idea of solitude.
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.

favourite place for a friday night drink / saturday morning coffee?
catching up with city friends often happens at Preachers, relaxed enough to be able to hear each other talk (most of the time!) as an ex-chef, i’m often twitchy on the weekends and have friends over for eggs benedict and piccolo lattes. if we are out and about, we love tricycle café or Jackman and mcRoss.

england in 2011. she has since been completely
captivated by the unique flora and fauna of the
island and has produced a range of watercolour

of colour and depth achieved in each well
considered piece.

favourite tasmanian designer / maker + why?
tasmania has so many fantastic designers and makers; i had to really think about this one. some of them i respect for the products, some of them i admire for their intentions, and many others are gorgeous, amazing people! i would have to say Pixe Link would be favourite. i have several of her garments in my wardrobe, she is a wonderful lady with bravery and passion to support other makers and designers in tasmania by opening her own store, spacebar Gallery, and she is a self taught designer, business woman and general wonder-lady!

pieces. her incredible body of work (with
which she has won her fair share of awards!)
is developed in response to the flora and the
architecture of tasmania; recurring references

lines. Jaw droppingly beautiful pieces and awe
– inspiring talent.

if you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be + why?
we moved from sydney to tassie for the lifestyle; friendly people who care about each other and stunning natural beauty. we would get on the plane back to sydney and feel like we were leaving home. there was a real sadness in leaving. so now we just visit sydney and are glad to leave it behind. sorry sydney… why would you want to live anywhere but here?

what does your work / studio space look like?
my workshop was lost to the fires that swept through murdunna in January this year. i didn’t realize how much cutlery i had collected over the years until i saw it in piles amongst the remains and the ashes.
i am now reinventing my creative space in a big 40 foot shipping container.
my vision for this space is chic workshop and design studio with jewelers bench and lots of beautiful old and new tools, surrounded by inspiring objects and treasures. i think the operative word here is ‘big’ – something big has happened, we’re taking that, thinking big and rising up.

with quality produce and seasonal treats.

of their mouth watering handmade pastry. Plus,
we like supporting a small family business, and

the market is a boutique art + design event, showcasing
independent tasmanian designers, makers and producers.
it is held six times a year in the intriguing masonic temple,
hobart. since its inception in 2009, it has become widely
known for its exciting line up of exclusively local labels, along
with its firm focus on authenticity and craftsmanship.
with an impressive collection of exhibitors from a wide
range of disciplines, visitors to the market can expect to see
established fashion illustrators sitting alongside small scale
producers of bespoke ceramics. a very particular approach
to stallholder selection ensures that while exhibitors are
vastly different 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.

& the why ...

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!

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.
