The Essendon Market For Designers and Creators

I love a local, community market. I love knowing that I've bought something that has been homemade with love. I love supporting passionate student designers; and I really love doughnuts. With just two days to go, The Essendon Market for Designers and Creators is set to tick all those boxes for me.

With over 70 stalls on offer, the Essendon Market will feature a wide variety of handmade clothing, accessories, home decor, gourmet food, and a student design space. Some of our very talented Mosaik team members will also be featuring their crafts at the market! It's all about supporting local artisans who are passionate about creating quality products with heart. 

You can check it all out for yourself this Saturday, the 28th of March from 10am to 3pm, at Ukraine House, 3 Russell St Essendon.  But until then, I'll be here thinking about those mini doughnuts ...

Encouraging local design and crafts, The Essendon Market has been generous enough to offer student stall spaces, available at an affordable price – this is what is allowing us (The Little Market Stall) to debut and present our works to the local community for the first time ever! ‘The Little Market Stall’ is a collaborative project that presents the works of Beth Mazzarella, Jacquelyn Ryles-Smith, Nicole Comelli and myself. 

Each of us are university students who study Industrial Design, Nursing/Midwifery and Secondary Teaching – and with a vast array of ideas and styles, we will be offering a range of cute and colourful bits and pieces ranging from jewellery and badges, to fabric pouches, cards and wooden DIY pencil cups! We are so excited to take on this new adventure and learn how to run a small-scale project, expanding our exploration of materials, finishes and crafting methods. Hope to see you there!
