SHOPPERS opting for locally-made presents have turned out in droves this season to find a hand-made treasure at Vincent’s annual Young Makers Christmas Market.
There were 75 stalls around Braithwaite Park this year with young makers aged 6-18 selling their wares.
Some had up-cycled goods, some cooked sweets or dog treats, and others went full creator-mode, like 12-year-old Thomas Mhyre who used his great-grandfather’s lathe to craft wooden bowls, coasters, and cheese boards from recycled timber.
While these markets wrapped up on December 7, if you’re still after a hand-made gift there’ll be about 200 stallholders selling wares at the final (adult) Perth Makers Market at Goolugatup Heathcote Reserve December 15, 9.30am-3.30pm.
