OUR mission statement

MADE ON THE LEFT was founded in 2008 by independent designers to support Western Australian creative talent. We hold bi-annual handmade craft markets to showcase local designers.

Being on the left hand side of Australia no longer

means you'll be at a disadvantage.

Our aim is to support all creative designers and events showcasing independent labels. MOTL is a not-for-profit, non-partisan organisation. You may wonder why we promote other markets besides MOTL; it’s because it’s not about us, its about you; the buyers and sellers of indie wares. Here at the blog, you’ll discover up to date information about our latest market, the low-down on some of Perth’s emerging talents, other opportunities for artists and designers and a little bit of fun stuff too. It’s all right here… welcome!

'Mind Your Arts' Workshops

CHRONICLE DIGITAL STORYTELLING WORKSHOPS 
Do you have a desire to tell your story? Want to learn how to make a 1-2 minute movie? No technical experience needed! A great opportunity to learn how to turn an iPad into a multi-media production tool.

Develop digital media and storytelling skills as our facilitators assist you to produce your 1-2 minute personal story as a video you can share with your friends and family.

No experience in using iPads is necessary as all the training to these simple and powerful storytelling techniques will be trained in the workshop.

Our pre-workshop pack will help you come along fully prepared with a story and photographs to share. After finessing your story, we will show you how to record your audio track, scan your photographs and edit them together into a short video that will be viewed at the end of the workshop. Your movie will be made available to you online and on DVD.

Come along and tell your story, or buddy-up with a friend or relative and make a film on their story.
