Welcome to our Christmas event!

Welcome to Christmas at the market. Home of the most interesting, original and beautifully made collection of gifts this festive season! What you won’t find at this event are boring products of the mass produced variety, or over the top department store packaging. No, we have made it our mission to bring you the freshest local labels, along with a product selection that is seriously covetable.

Spread over Saturday and Sunday, with a fresh group of exhibitors each day, you’ll find wares on offer such as fashion illustration, jewellery, photography, homewares, clothing, lighting and garden design...we’re confident in claiming we have your Christmas shopping list covered.

Do have a flick through our Christmas look book, it will tell you which of your favorite labels will be appearing when - and also some insight into the ethos of the people exhibiting with us. You’ll see that while they differ vastly in their mediums, all belong to a similar Ilk, which demonstrates the core value of the market – to present customers with the cream of the crop of art & design in Tasmania.

with Chirstmas love,
Shannon + Holly

Sally Ellis creates a delightful range of ceramics, including jewellery, dainty dishes, candleholders and functional home wares too. Often her porcelain has intricate lace impressions in the surface and all of the Sally Cassandra range is rich with beautiful textures and patterns, transforming simple ceramics into items of beauty.

Do you have a day job, if so what is it?
I am the mother of two beautiful little people.

When did your business begin and why? 
After finishing art school in Tasmania I moved to South Australia for a couple of years to do a ceramic associate ship at the JamFactory. I was inspired by friends in the jewellery studio at the JamFactory to experiment making jewellery with porcelain. This is when I started selling my pieces to galleries, I guess it just snow balled from there.

Inspiration/design aesthetic? 
I am a collector. I like objects with intricate patterns, fabrics with different textures. I collect things of different shapes and colour, things of aesthetic and sentimental value, objects that once had a story. I love vintage patterns and objects that are worn through overuse. I use these found objects in my work giving them a second life, making the old new again.

Designers you admire? 
There are a lot! One of my favorite old ones in William Morris for his beautiful wall paper designs. And one of my favorite new ones is ceramic artist Honor Freeman, she sees the beauty in everyday objects, things that are often overlooked.

What is your favourite part of Tasmania? 
Bicheno, I love the beach and listening to the waves crash. We have a shack up there, it has retro wall paper and awesome vintage lino!

What do you love about what you do...and any little gripes or niggles? 
I love seeing images in my sketch book come to life in porcelain. Gripes – too many ideas and not enough time!

What can our lovely customers expect to see you exhibiting? 
Some of the old and some of the new! Jewellery, dishes and tealights which have been at the market before, plus some new products focusing on functional homewards.
