23.01.2022 Just wanted to do a throw back to the first ever shop we had at Westfield Kotara. Getting close to 4 years ago! This little guy by my side has loved being part of it, often giving good advice, sometimes contributing art for sale too. If you swipe you will see the first collective of makers and artists with so many still part of it all. It really has been pretty fabulous providing this platform (sometimes exhausting) and seeing these mini businesses grow. Because at the... end of the day every artist who puts their work up for sale is a business. Their creative souls go into every piece. Very grateful to the mega businesses of Scentre Group @westfieldkotara first up and now GPT @charlestownsquareofficial for the last almost three years for this opportunity. We get to curate an incredible space with all local Artisans, providing a complete contrast to the usual shopping experience in a shopping centre. Also a huge thankyou to YOU for supporting us! Whether you followed us from westfield through all 7 shops or if you just discovered us, thankyou! #shoplocal is so important nowadays, keeping your community employed and enjoying the experience of meeting people that are creative!

18.01.2022 T R R Â R Ï Û M Š Hard to pick a favourite shape really, although the fishbowls are a good start, because once you get one well then sometimes you just accidentally get more. Wendy knows her plants and sources the best and also propagates itty bitty cactus and succulents. ... We all need green in our life

18.01.2022 Martina’s art works takes Newcastle iconic images and gives them a little twist, using her camera and photoshop to create the works. I think the Stockton ferry falling off the edge is my favourite. Although Nobbys as an ice cream is a close second.

17.01.2022 Hello fabulous Friday, These stunning paper hydrangeas are made by our paper whisperer Jen, who has also created a beautiful range of paper Christmas decorations.

16.01.2022 Calling all creative souls. We are on the lookout for Newcastle and the Hunters makers and Artists. It’s been a crazy covid year but we have been so lucky in our creative space with so much support from @charlestownsquareofficial and from you, our customers, and since launching the online shop we have been posting happy little parcels all over Australia. Sharing the Newcastle Art community to the country. So tag in your favourite Artisans, because we are growing our creative collective. or head to our website and fill in the join us page.

16.01.2022 We are all busy bees making and creating - so many of you doing Christmas shopping early. Thank you #getinearly #christmas2020

15.01.2022 Ö V Ê every corner of our shop of beautiful. Handmade in Newcastle and the Hunter. Perfect

14.01.2022 The lovely Lily and her stunning shibori dyed leather bag. Lily designs AND makes the bags from offcuts of leather she has shibori dyed. All of her bags are her designs and using upcycled upholstery fabric and leather makes each one completely unique and one off.

13.01.2022 Ï Ç Ò Ñ dolls. Tuba makes these fab dolls and it’s kind of hard to choose a favourite. Most probably Einstein for me as I like to quote him ‘creativity is contagious, pass it on’. Which takes on more meaning in current times. So what icon doll do@you want to see? ... David Bowie?? Prince? Blondie? Or really going back now Bay City Rollers. See more

13.01.2022 Thanks for all the nice squishy feelings with yesterday’s post so we have some Christmas shopping questions. Would you like some VIP shopping nights in November? would you like more online options?... free pick up in store and a flat rate delivery? build your own gift baskets ? Or we make them up to choose from? We are trying to work out ways to make Christmas shopping easy this year! #coronachristmas #christmasshopping #shopearly #diygiftbasket #gettingready #madeinnewcastle #madeinaustralia #australianmade #creativevillagenewcastle #shoplocal #shopsmall #supportlocal #boutique #smallbusiness #buylocal #supportsmallbusiness #shophandmade #local #boutiqueshopping #makersgonnamake #newarrivals #handmadeisbetter #christmaswillbecrazy

12.01.2022 Since starting Creative Village Newcastle, one of the best parts has absolutely been the connections it’s created amongst the artists and makers. Teval is such a generous soul and this is just so lovely! Posted @withregram @natashalenaghan Since I embarked on my small business of glass bead making I have met many artists and one of my absolute favourites is the wonderful Teval from @ceramicsbyteval . I am a big fan of Teval’s work and can often be seen at @creativevillage...newcastle taking photos of my jewellery draped over Teval’s trinket dishes and vases. Today Teval surprised me with my very own lady vase made especially to display my luscious glass bead jewellery This beautiful vase will be coming with me to the @huntervalleyartfair over the October long weekend to be front and centre in my display (p.s. while the lady vase in front is mine the one behind is available at @creativevillagenewcastle) #randomactsofkindness #collaborationovercompetition #artistcollective #tevalislovely #ceramicsnewcastle #handbuiltceramics #shoplocal #shopsmall #supportlocal #boutique #smallbusiness #buylocal #supportsmallbusiness #shophandmade #local #boutiqueshopping #makersgonnamake #newarrivals #handmadeisbetter #madeinnewcastle #creativevillagenewcastle #newcastleisawesome

11.01.2022 Pet portraits by Kayla are the sweetest, and if you want one by Christmas get in quick. Kayla also has a range of native Australian animal artworks, perfect for posting overseas

11.01.2022 Yes! full colour and ocean coloured aprons are back in stock for adults and kids. If you get a bit messy in the kitchen, these are perfect! Every single one is different, and they look amazing.

11.01.2022 We love our beeswax wraps. Have you tried them out? They really are the best ever replacement of gladwrap. We have been using them in our house for over ten years. My favourite use is for capsicum, cheese and sandwiches #reuse #reduce #recycle #reusable #beeswaxwrap #madeinnewcastle #madeinaustralia #australianmade #creativevillagenewcastle #greenlife #noplanetb #shopsmall #shoplocal

05.01.2022 Ok 80’s babes, this is for you. Jen has been getting her inner Madonna out and creating these pieces for all of us 80’s disco lovers. Beautifully modelled by Wendy Ok so what is your favourite 80’s song? Girls on film by Duran Duran.... Vienna by Ultravox....

03.01.2022 Meet Alyssa This amazing human makes chalk paint, and once you discover how easy it is to upcycle furniture and glassware you will start eyeing off all the furniture at council kerbside pick up. If you want to just try it out, we have some awesome sample sizes. So far I have upcycled 3 pieces of furniture (marketplace is a good source ).

03.01.2022 It’s no secret when we get together, we do have fun, and this photo shoot in February was back in the day when social distancing wasn’t a thing and less than a month later we were talking about and then shuttering the shop! What a wild year it’s been for the whole world, and in our little corner of loveliness I have learnt we are a resilient bunch. The makers and creators, the dreamers, the artists, and music is what so many of us turned to when we needed a distraction from... the news and daily tallies. So thank you to all the creative souls that nourish our community. Big shout out to this creative bunch here - do all of them a favour, follow their accounts, say hello and share the love!

03.01.2022 We are getting together all our Christmas gift bundles ideas for this year... what would you like to see?? And wait for it we will have some special VIP shopping nights in November to help beat the Christmas rush

02.01.2022 We are lucky to have @livecreativlee a local photographer, stylist, Mum and fabric destash guru come along and take all the fabulous photos of our shop and us the creators. I use the word lucky a lot when it comes to the amazing shop of lovely because simply we are. How often do makers and artists get to have a shop in a major shopping centre? So feeling the lucky love today.

02.01.2022 Ellen appreciation day! Ellen joined us in our first shop @charlestownsquareofficial so in our second year of being a creative village. Ellen is kind, creative quiet and just lovely. If you come into the shop when Ellen is there, she will usually be creating an artwork so you will get to see her creativity as it happens. Being an artist means she wants to constantly try new things so then making earrings started! I may have a few pairs. ... Ellen keeps making and creating and we do love her sense of humour - coz we love you more than bacon too Ellen.

02.01.2022 Jumping in to the week! Hello Monday, you are looking beautiful.
