Christmas Markets 2011

The Eucalypt Homewares Studio has been in a constant state of making madness over the last few weeks, in preparation for the upcoming Christmas markets. We are looking forward to showcasing the latest bowls and plates, decorations and adorns at these fabulous events.

Perth Upmarket Sunday 27th November @ UWA 10am-4pm Perth Upmarket brings together over 150 of Perth's talented artists, designers, stylists, craftspeople and gourmets all under one roof. The product mix is diverse ranging from handmade clothing, cupcakes, wall art, cards, homewares, jewellery to skin care products. The market allows Perth shoppers who appreciate the handmade to connect with the talented creators. Eucalypt Homewares will be located in the usual spot in the Undercroft of Winthrop Hall.

Fremantle Bazaar 2010 Eucalypt Homewares will be joining forces with Old Grey House and Robin Wells Jewellery under the stall name Clay Cloth Metal.This unique and beautiful stall can be found up the stairs in the upper deck, near the payment tent and food stalls.

Mother's Day Studio Open

Twice a year I open my Eucalypt Homewares studio to the public for a sale on current pieces as well as some real bargains on seconds and discontinued lines.

One is held just before Christmas and the other the week before Mother's Day. Last Sunday was the annual pre Mother's Day sale. This year I invited some other local designers to join me resulting in a lovely market like atmosphere in my back garden.

Shoppers could wonder through the garden looking a tables set up with work from Eucalypt Homewares, Robin Wells Jewellery, Little Babushka and Old Grey House.

It was a perfect sunny day with people arriving at leisure through out the afternoon. There was a nice mix of loyal supporters and new enthusiasts all enjoying an outing perusing local artist's wares. We even had a lovely local lady organise a luncheon for her friends with a stroll down to my studio after, a special thanks to Mia!

Clay & Cloth

I have gotten a bit carried away with the number of photos posted here, but I couldn't help myself!

My friend Tanya, from Old Grey House, and I have been busy over the last few days photographing our work. We think the clay and cloth work very well together and hope the images tell a visual story.

I hope you enjoy the photos. We certainly had a blast taking them.
