Ceramic vessels by Craig Spencer.
Independent voices, shared space
Edition 2.0 continued Makers Market’s development as a platform for independent creative practice. Established studios and emerging makers came together at the Good Form gallery, each bringing a distinct approach to materials, process and form.
The weekend offered visitors an opportunity to meet the people behind the work and explore original, small-batch and independently produced pieces. The selection reflected the breadth of contemporary making across Aotearoa, from ceramic vessels and sculptural furniture to jewellery, textiles and zero waste swimwear.

Material, process and personal vision
The works featured here were selected for the original event preview. Together, they show the range of practices represented in Edition 2.0, from Matt Coldicutt’s Parquet furniture and Kynan Robinson-Keane’s Standpoint Bench to Neal Smith’s work in wood, leather and silver.
Alongside these objects, Makers Market offered a setting for conversation: a chance to learn about how a piece was made, the ideas that shaped it and the practice behind it.
