Think textiles and crafts (oh those cute little knitted babies things), glass and leadlight, metal worked into the most incredible forms, delicate jewellery, warm wood, sculpture, pottery and things that are just so nice to own. Traditional, hipster, quirky, bespoke or commissioned – it’s all out there. Use the map and list to find something to treasure.
And if you buy yourself a great winter scarf we’d love to see it. Tag #HandmadeCentralNSW #buyfromthebush #UnearthCentralNSW
