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!

KickstART market best stall winner!


Congratulations to Harriet Perryer for winning best stall at the 2017 KickstART Markets presented by Propel YouthArts! Her stall, sca.har. was judged the best from around 60 stalls on the day. Sca.har.’s range includes wrapping paper, jewellery, cards and paper goods using her artwork which is inspired by Australian native flora. Harriet even made the display items herself (with some help from her dad). The simple yet effective branding, combined with the cohesive display and range of products, impressed the judges. Well done Harriet and we look forward to seeing you at the next Made on the Left market!
