THE holiday season is upon us and in what\u2019s universally known as a stressful time for many, local artists and craftspeople are hoping to ease the angst that comes with buying gifts to wrap and pop underneath the Christmas tree.<\/p>\n
The Aireys Inlet Market \u2013 which is being held on Sunday November 18 \u2013 will feature 60 stalls of handmade, homegrown, vintage and recycled products, offering marketgoers a unique selection of the region\u2019s best arts, crafts and local produce.<\/p>\n
Catering to all demographics, the market offers shoppers exclusive access to a wide range of special gift ideas for Christmas, as well as an excuse to adventure down to the coastline.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have everything from spectacular hot iron metal sculptures and handcrafted wooden furniture, to intricate hand-sewn cushions, homespun wool and beautiful macrame,\u201d said market organiser Libby Stapleton.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor something really different, there\u2019s wearable art, bright and vibrant floor rugs made from recycled cotton, or bespoke silver and copper jewellery. Customers are loving the gorgeous ceramic \u2018travel cups\u2019 featuring the Aireys Inlet lighthouse, made by one of our newest stallholders, Mary Valcanis.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople can even make up their own Christmas hampers, starting with one of Murray Rowland\u2019s handwoven baskets and filling it with a selection of beautiful local produce, such as olive oil, honey, nuts, wine, muesli, chutney, jams, tea, coffee, and more,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The next Aireys Inlet Market is on this Sunday from 9am to 1pm at the Aireys Inlet Community Hall, 6 Great Ocean Road, Aireys Inlet.<\/p>\n
