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!

Made on the Left DESTASH YOUR SUPPLIES MARKET



We at Made on the Left feel that 2011 is going to be an awesome year full of new possibilities and crafting adventures. So we thought we’d launch the new year with a market dedicated to clearing out your craft room (art studio, lounge room or exploding spare room) of all those supplies you have bought over the years and never quite used. It’s also dedicated to all those people who have found their passion (or still searching) and need the equipment and supplies to continue their awesome work.

So come along and add to your passion, trade your equipment or sell off all those no longer needed supplies gathering dust. Wool, cotton, material, easels, brushes, glass, beads, canvases, wood, clay, polymers, pens, paper...the list goes on.
9.30am - 2pm
Upstairs at The Saint, Innaloo
No commercial suppliers please. Only individuals wanting to clear their craft room, art studio or their lounge room corner!
Buyers free entry.
Traders can let other know about what they have or want on the blog post (leave a comment on this post) or the Facebook event page (coming soon). If you don't have enough to fill a table then bring a basket of your goodies to sell or trade ($5 fee applies).

Join in the communal process of reuse and celebrate our collective creativity! You are invited to participate in Swap-O-Rama-Rama as staff. Swap-O-Rama-Rama is a giant clothing swap and series of do-it-yourself workshops in which a community explores reuse and creativity through the recycling of used clothing. At Swap-ORama-Rama consumers are taught to be creators and this transformation takes place through the local talent in the community. Swap-O-Rama-Rama is seeking artists of all calibers, recyclers and creatives of all kinds for the following roles:
publicity, artist taught DIY workshops, designer run sewing stations, silk screening, fashion show production, reuse designers for a recycled fashion show, sorters (get first dibs on clothes) and general help.

Publicity: If you can help with print and other media publicity, we'd love your help promoting this exciting event.

DIY Workshops: If you have a unique skill that transforms would be trash into a wearable item (clothing/jewelry/handbag etc.) please consider bringing this to Swap-O-Rama-Rama in the form of a DIY workshop.

Sewing Station/Fashion Show: If you're a whiz behind a sewing machine and work with reuse, consider being a Swap-O-Rama-Rama designer helping people learn how to mod the used clothing they find at the swap. And join the Swap-O-Rama-Rama fashion show and show off your creations.

Fashion Show production: If you can co-ordinate and manage a dynamic, freestyle fashion show, we'd love your ideas and input.

Silk Screen Crew: If you're a silk screener and would like to join the silk screening crew, offering your fresh designs to bring used clothes back to life, please get in touch!

Music: What's a party without music? If you are a DJ or have a band, we'd love to hear from you.
