Interview - Pink Snow Flakes

2010-10-15T16:31:00.000+11:00

Hi! Meet Laura from Pinksnowflakes. She's been a fabulous support to the Buninyong Makers Market and is the perfect indie crafter to be featured in the first ever BMM Blog Interview Series.

When did you start your business? A few years ago. I am a stay at home mum of two and started making toys for my kids, and then for friends kids and it kind of just happened!

Tell us a bit about you – I have a degree in printmaking and drawing and have always been sketching, creating or making something. I remember having drawing competitions with my older sister when we about 9 and 11, and driving our family mad making them choose whose picture was better.

What inspires you? Art, film, food, my husband, music ( right now Ray LaMontagne), vintage goodness, fabric, my son’s wonderful drawings and sunshine.

My son Oska and I have worked together making softies too which has been too much fun. A kids perspective is so great, no limitations just imagination! My daughter Mabel who is not even two has her opinion about whether a toy is cool or not so I have my own little market testers at home.

What are your plans for the future of your business? I do not have any immediate plans for world domination, other than that I am utterly content to continue making things that make me and others smile. When it’s not fun anymore I won’t do it. But seriously when is it not going to be fun, right?!

You can see more of Laura's gorgeous work at the Buninyong Makers Market! Click HERE for details.

Success!

Well, from the second the doors opened to the minute they closed the Buninyong Makers Market was frantically busy.

Our stall holders have been left completely speechless but the wonderful community response to the newest market in the Buninyong/Ballarat area and we're so grateful to everyone who attended.

A little about the BMM

2010-10-04T10:15:00.001+11:00

For those that dont know the Buninyong Makers Market is a non profit organisation. All money raised from this market goes back into the market to help with advertising and funding to support the market itself. Any other money will go back into the community somewhere but this has not been organised as yet.

The organisers of the market are purely volunteers and they give their own time and efforts to help organise this market to the best of their abilities.

The volunteers also run their own businesses or hobby business and they have reduced their time spent on their own work to help bring a successful market to the local community and to help other small stall holders have a place to display their wares.

We would also like to say thankyou to the stall holders that have also helped in some way to promote or to clean up on the day!

Thanks again and we are looking forward to another successful day in October.
YAY

Oct and Dec market Application Close this Wednesday

2010-09-13T11:46:00.001+10:00

Due to an overload of request to be a part of this market I will be closing applications this Wednesday as we are already over booked.

If you would like to receive an application form please send through an email to buninyongmakersmarket@gmail.com
But you will need to have it completed and sent back to us no later than Wednesday.

Voting for stalls will depend on how many of each craft or art we have already booked in, your images and how you present your work and your pricings and how you price your work. It will also be first in first served...

If you are unsuccessful this time, new dates for next year will be out around February and you are welcome to apply then.

Finally,
A small request. I would also like to ask if potential stall holders could please communicate through this email and please do not bring your portfolio of your work on market day.
I personally do not have the time to be discussing your application on the day of the market as this is a time where I myself am being a stall holder and trying to sell my products. I hope you can understand this request and I look forward to receiving your application.

Kindest Regards,
Kylie

Buninyong Makers Market - Stallholders Wanted

There will be a Makers Market held in Buninyong on:

11th September
23rd October
4th December (Christmas Market)

We are looking for stall holders that may be interested in taking part with this market. This market will not clash with the Daylesford Markers Market. Stallholders will need to keep a high standard of presentation at their stall so as to support this market to look ' designer' and price accordingly.

We already have a number of local supporters for this market who will be attending but we still need to find some more.

If you are interested in applying or would like more information regarding this please email me at buninyongmakersmarket@gmail.com

Location: Buninyong Town Hall
Price: Discounted rate at the moment of $20 per table plus $8 public liability insurance. Includes table.

Market Dates Coming Soon

2010-07-26T13:38:00.001+10:00
