Taking place at The School in Sydney’s Rosebery from 10am-to-5pm, eight creatives (who feature in Tamara’s book) will be hosting a stall each, demonstrating their creative process and showcasing the fruits of their labour. The stalls will cover a diverse cross-section of mediums ranging from ceramics, leather, paper mache, paper-sculpture, shibori dyeing and extreme knitting.

“The day won’t be a standard market,” explains Tamara. “But more of a curated celebratory event focused around the book, with eight of the very special makers featured in my book at the market telling their stories and sharing their creative process.”

Makers include Jacqui Fink, a crafter of hand knitted oversized textiles and installations; Pepa Martin, creators of limited edition, hand bound and dyed shibori leather products; and Forty Nine Studio, designers of ceramic tableware, bowls, serving dishes and platters that are designed for everyday use.

Tamara, the brains behind the pages of the soon to be released The Maker will be there on the day, sharing her experiences of documenting the special projects that are inside the cover. From 4pm The School will host drinks and a book signing.

The crowd was captivated by Greg

The event was hosted by our friends at BoConcept in their new store at Supa Centa Moore Park. Guests enjoyed my live Q&A with Greg about his new book, The Tailored Interior, then patiently queued up to get their copy signed as he took the time to chat with each person.

Register quick for this one as places are limited and we expect it to be popular!

I’ll be interviewing Darren about his book, Easy Luxury, The Block, and his design work. Then we’ll set you loose on the store to style, arrange and rearrange to your heart’s content. You can photograph and share your vignettes on Instagram with one person taking home a prize on the night.

There’ll also be refreshments by Williams-Sonoma, drinks, a chance to meet fellow interiors addicts and, if you’re interested, yours truly! And you can buy and get your copy of Easy Luxury signed by Darren too.

We respectfully ask that you’re sure you can attend before you register as last minute cancellations result in wasted spaces which could have been offered to someone else. Sadly, people often let us know when it is too late to offer their place to someone on the wait list.

When: 7-9pm, Wednesday 19 November 2014

Where: West Elm, The Exchange Building, 472 Oxford Street, Bondi Junction, Sydney 2022.
