Shonah

If old world treasures are your thing, then you'll love Shonah Tomkins and her antique inspired jewellery and accessories. Combining her skills of life-drawing and screen printing while drawing inspiration from her small town roots, Shonah's beautiful range of wearable art is totally handmade, eco-friendly and all individual. Very much reflecting Shonah Tomkins as a designer.

In-between her role teaching music Shonah is working on a new linen, demin, vintage lace and Tasmanian Blackwood range to debut at the market soon.

Not bad for a small town gal!

Girl With A Cloud

Local Melbourne jeweller and designer Jane Reilly has been creating for as long as she can remember. From mud pies at age 5, to her latest incarnation, accessories label Girl With A Cloud. Originally trained as a ceramicist, she craved a medium that yielded immediate results so that drew her to jewellery and silversmithing. The Girl With A Cloud range includes many found and recycled objects and materials creating a worn in yet refined aesthetic.

Already a Rose Street favourite, expect to see many more playful and bright things on the horizon!
