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!

Subiaco Craft Fair

While there is a prestigious Art Exhibition held each year at the WA Art Gallery, there are very few craft and design opportunities for young students to display their skills to the public. Excellent craft in the form of woodwork, ceramics, glass and fabric is produced in schools and Rotary would like to extend the Subiaco Craft Fair by providing a venue for students to display their craft and design talents. Please download the information at www.subiacocraftfair.org.au and circulate it to young people and schools and encouraged them to participate. Prizes will be awarded in each category and every student will receive a Certificate of Participation.

Rotary very much regrets that electronic registration for stallholders for the upcoming Subiaco Craft Fair (october) is still not available. We had hoped to have this ready some time ago but these are matters beyond our control. As soon as registrations open we will contact you via email if you are on the mailing list. You will then be able to access the Subiaco Craft Fair website, choose your stall from the site plan, and then pay for your stall either by credit card, direct debit, cheque or money order.
