Fremantle

The annual Made on the Left Christmas Market will see over 100 Western Australian designers come together at Fremantle's Esplanade Park, on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th December.

Made on the Left is Perth's longest running designer market, offering a unique showcase of products from talented and creative local artists.

Visitors will be amazed at the one-of-a-kind gifts for men, women and children on offer - all lovingly made here in WA. Everything displayed is either hand made by the designer or fully produced in WA, with each stall holder featuring their own designs.

The wide range of gift ideas will include hand-made clothing and accessories (made from vintage, retro and unique fabrics), mosaic artworks, original canvas prints and watercolours, timber homewares, luxury candles and 100% leather bags and clutches.

There will also be fine silver jewellery featuring gem stones and precious metal wires, metal wall art, artisan soaps, home and beauty products, sweet treats and home-made honey.

Entry to this family friendly event is FREE and will include kids' workshop activities on both days. Of course, a range of food trucks will provide eats and drinks as well.

Bazaar has a long and proud tradition of presenting the very best in WA design. 50 of the state’s most proficient makers will be selected to sell a great range of jewellery, fashion, ceramics, sculpture, woodwork, textiles and much more. In addition to top quality products, Bazaar is held in the beautiful surrounds of FAC’s Front Garden and enjoys a relaxed, festive atmosphere with a bar, a great selection of food vans and DJs all weekend.

Delve into the world of abstraction with Australian artist Anya Brock and her latest exhibition ‘Rush Rush Gone’. Known for her instantly recognisable semi-abstracted animals, florals and faces found adorning cityscapes and homes all over the world, ‘Rush Rush Gone’ is a wild departure from Brock’s usual practice. Watching her toddler son’s unbridled playfulness, coupled with a desire for more liberal self-expression, saw Brock discover a bold new style. Led by scale and freedom, the resulting abstracts are energetic, layered and just as captivating as Brock’s figurative works. She has found a visual language that feels more personal and essential than ever before. For more information visit anyabrock.com/. 

Along with an ensemble of Perths finest musicians, it is destined to be an unforgettable night of bold rock bangers like Zombie and Dreams, to nostalgic heartfelt pop ballads like Runaway and Breathless.

Having spent much of the last decade being compared to Dolores O Riordan and that undeniable haunting Celtic Voice, it was decided that now, more than ever in these crazy times, that a show like this is much needed. 

Come along to Freo.Social on Thursday December 10 for an unforgettable show with special performances and many surprises.
