Bassendean's Tasty Pear

The Tasty Pear is a beautiful new pop up store in Bassendean situated in the newly refurbished shopping centre, where shoppers can browse and buy handmade artisan products in a beautiful, relaxed setting. With a range of unusual, carefully sourced and well-made items, The Tasty Pear offers everything from inexpensive gifts to luxury art pieces.

The shop was opened in mid-November by two Bassendean locals, Gill Cordiner and Chantal Kilpatrick. Gill is a jeweller and painter whose work won this year’s local artist prize at the Bassendean Art Awards. Chantal and her sister run a successful clothing and soft furnishings label, 'violetclothing'.

Drawing on their extensive experience, they saw the shop as an opportunity to offer emerging and established Perth artists a place to sell their work, and to foster the burgeoning creative vibe that is already present in Bassendean with shops such as Daisy and Rowe and events such as the Old Perth Markets. Bassendean is well known for having an impressive creative community, and Gill and Chantal hope that The Tasty Pear presents an opportunity for some local creatives to gain better exposure in their own community. 

If you’re a local or WA artist or maker who would be interested in selling your work at The Tasty Pear then please visit the shop’s Facebook page or website for full more details

The chosen young maker will also be able to work in store and learn from the group of experienced makers and sellers. Working in-store will be on a voluntary basis - not essential but a great opportunity to learn about selling their own creations.

The rent-free spot begins on Saturday 2nd August, so applicants must have enough stock in hand to fill a space approx 1m x 35cm or equivalent, depending on product, by this date.

The successful applicant will be designated their own spot in the shop totally rent-free (usually $20/week) for the period 2nd – 31st August 2014.

Montage pop-up shop

Montage Collective is a group of friends who have got together to open a pop-up shop.

As part of the redevelopment of 140 William St, Perth, the designers have been offered a temporary retail space for the artists of Montage to showcase their original works with the aim of reinvigorating and revitalising this unused urban space.

Montage's mission is to create a unique shopping experience using the "pop-up" concept of temporarily appearing in a location before disappearing and then "popping-up" again. They also hope to encourage customers to support local handmade products by West Australian designers.

The shop showcases the handmade designs of the 15 local designers including clothing, jewellery, art, accessories, bags, stationery, toys and homewares.

Make sure you don't miss the chance to visit Montage and support local handmade designers before they close on Sunday 23rd October!

Montage Pop-up Shop
140 William St (corner William & Wellington Streets, Perth)
Trading hours are Mon-Thur: 10-6pm, Fri: 10-8pm, Sat: 10-5pm & Sun: 11-5pm.

Outskirts 2011: Call for submissions

On Sunday 25 September the creative hub of Northbridge will come alive for Outskirts, a precinct wide festival celebrating emerging fashion and design. Pop-up stores, artist studios, performance, street stalls, designer sales, workshops and more will take to the streets, as part of Outskirts, which is an event within the Perth Fashion Festival.

Outskirts is a pedestal for upcoming and existing local WA talent - the inaugural 2009 event comprised of over 50 things to do, see and collect, supported over 290 individual creatives and was a huge success for all involved. This year we hope to make it even better by filling every nook in Northbridge with something exciting, and we're hoping that you can be part of making this happen.

You're Invited

We're looking for creative people, businesses and organisations to get involved in this year's Outskirts program.

The scope is huge, and it is really up to what you would like to do to be included. To get you thinking, here are few ideas:

- a pop up store

- take your studio to the street for a day

- a static display of your latest collection

- an exhibition

- a street market stall

- a group activity involving the public (workshop, public art installation, etc)

- a fashion parade

Your concept can be purely promotional - building an image for your brand, or commercial - aiming to make sales on the day.

Submissions are due on 1 July. 

For more information - take a gander at the On William website.
