Inspired by nature, space, the ocean and repetition, Tarn Watkinson creates intricate and often peculiar worlds with a super fine liner on paper. His black and white drawings are full of life and adventure.
Originally from New Zealand, via seven years travelling the world, we're happy to have Tarn and his artwork in Melbourne.
Ever since she made a fantastic train with eyelashes out of toilet rolls, tissue boxes, coloured circles, and wool, Sophie knew that her busy hands had to create things at every little opportunity.
Born and raised in Melbourne, Sophie has endeavoured to pursue a creative life at all times. She has studied visual arts and also Animation & design. She delights in capturing melancholic moods and the passing magic and myth of nature, animals, small moments in time, light and shadow in her work.
Sophie's recent works include glitter and resin vessels and converting her illustrations into enamel pins.
Starting out in the fashion industry, Jeannie found her creative outlet in jewellery label So Sublime. Focussing on a combination of resin and sterling silver, Jeannie has the ability to mix shapes and objects with a kaleidoscope of colours and endless design. Drawing inspiration from the 1920’s and 1930’s celluloid bakelite era, expect to see flowers, butterflies, cats, cicadas and many more little creatures from this time.
Versatility of use is a key element in the designs, as pieces can be worn as a brooch, neckpiece, hairpiece and perhaps even a belt buckle. All it needs is a little imagination by the wearer.
Come and see So Sublime and heaps more this February at The Rose St. Artists' Market.
With pieces fully handmade in their modest Melbourne studio, the work of Wonki and J Ceramics have been an instant hit at the market. Their range of simple, quality and functional tableware is inspired by Australian nature and has a traditional Korean twist to keep things interesting.
They only use organic raw materials for their glaze and all clay is sourced from local suppliers.
Blacbrail Atelier was launched at the start of 2016 by local silversmith and designer, Indigo. Working out of a small studio in Melbourne, Indigo has turned her fascination and interest in textures and forms into unique pieces of wearable art - created from precious metals. Always looking to push the boundaries on design and wearability, Indigo continues to evolve her techniques in order to recreate textures such as crumpled baking paper, folded paper or tin foil and more recent designs that mimic eroded concrete and aged paint.
Each piece is a one off and all have an element of texture ranging from subtle up to extremely heavy textures while all still taking on a minimalist approach.
For all things handmade!
