Welcome to Northside Makers Collective.....

Welcome to Northside Makers, we'd love you to join in on the fun. But first, a little about us.

Northside Makers Collective is a not-for-profit craft association, encouraging and supporting craftspeople, hobbyists and micro business in Melbourne's northern suburbs.

The Collective is a collaborative effort of three like-minded crafty young mothers living in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. Having met through our craft market adventures, we soon discovered that we had all the same ideas for what sort of craft market we'd like to be involved in and a desire to do that little bit more for the crafty community. We had a shared interest in representing local crafters and wanting to see the profits from markets be put back into supporting the growth of craft in the North.

Creating something so much more ... than just another craft market.

We have a united vision of facilitating local crafting gatherings which will complement a summer calender of community markets where members and local groups can showcase their crafty endeavors. Stay tuned!

For now, we will explore the great artsy offerings in the North, uncover some raw talent, and share our small business hints and tips, to better grow your micro business.

  15. KarenandMichael, being a little bit country sounds alright to us (as long as you're a little bit rock'n'roll as well).
