Leading design market, The Finders Keepers is returning to Sydney this June but at a new venue – The Hordern Pavillion. Showcasing over 150 local Australian designers, The Finders Keepers will run over three days from Friday 16 June to Sunday 18 June, 2023.
The markets were born in Sydney back in 2008 and this year celebrates its 15th year of operation.
“Sydney is our original stomping ground, it’s where The Finders Keepers was born as the first of its kind – a curated design market made to champion creatives,” says Finders Keepers managing director Sarah Thornton.
“We’ve always been embraced wholeheartedly in Sydney and we couldn’t have reached 15 years without our mindfully-made enthusiasts who love to support and meet local makers.”
From ceramics to unique art and slow fashion, market-goers will discover the latest from Australia’s craftiest, including a huge debut lineup featuring artwork by Aussie-inspired illustrator Brentos, hand-forged knives by Dog Boy, fine jewellery by Danielle Lo, sustainably-harvested natural perfumes by Eden Essence and many more.
The Finders Keepers Indigenous Program continues with Bush To Bowl hosting kids and adults creative workshops all weekend and a stall choc-full of bush tucker seedlings, plants and produce.
Keen DIY-ers can get crafty with cult knitting brand Cardigang in a rare Sydney appearance, alongside Craft Club and Craft Make Do kits and live clay-play with Bea Bellingham’s team from Clay Sydney.
Slow fashion seekers will find inclusive sizing with newcomers Dear Abigael, made-in-Sydney men’s staples by Bandsome, Newcastle-based High Tea with Mrs Woo, Blue Mountains botanical prints from Botanik The Label, handknitted goodies from Marikit by Kitty Choy and many more.
Local foodies including Antico Wood Fired Pizza, Brooklyn Bagels and Berlinner Donuts will fill hungry tummies, coffee by Allpress, and drinks will be served up by Stone & Wood, Minimum Wines and the LISTO Margarita Bar.
Visitors will also be taking happy snaps of their day out at the Vistaprint photo booth.
