Handmade Markets, Canberra

The exciting news this week is that applications opened for the Handmade Markets in Canberra.  The fours dates for 2010 have been announced:

• Sunday March 28
• Saturday June 5
• Saturday September 11
• Saturday December 4

Handmade – Canberra’s quarterly Upmarket brings together talented artists, designers, stylists, craftspeople and gourmets all at one destination.  It is a unique event to connect the makers of beautiful things to people who appreciate the quality, handcrafted and locally designed.

This year the markets will be held at Kamberra Wine Company. It is a good location to catch tourists (not to mention being close to home).

The other surprising news that came from Handmade was the opening of a retail store in Civic (Canberra, Australia). I must check it out one lunch time.

Shop Handmade is an exciting new concept store created to showcase the amazing talent of Australian artisans

Shop Handmade is located on City Walk in Canberra’s CBD, Shop 20 Allara St on the corner opposite The Canberra Centre Civic and Glebe Park.
