Ōtautahi Made | Spring Market
Join us for a day celebrating handmade, designed and locally created work from some of New Zealand's most talented independent makers.
Shop directly from artists, designers, food producers and creative small businesses, all brought together in one vibrant market that champions genuine handmade businesses and local creativity.
Every stall has been individually curated because we believe every purchase has a story, every maker has a passion, and every market should celebrate the people behind the products.

• Ceramics
• Jewellery
• Art & Prints
• Homewares
