AFTER months of making, artists from across the Far West region travelled out to Mundi Mundi Bash this week to sell their crafts to punters looking for a souvenir from the festival.
The West Darling Arts Precinct at the Bash site, which is set up near the left of the stage, was transformed into an artisanal market from Wednesday.
Cathy Farry from West Darling Arts said the collaboration between West Darling Arts and the Mundi Mundi Bash has been existing ever since the start of the festival, and offers makers an opportunity to share and sell their hand-crafted goods.
“There’s quite a bit of jewellery out there,” she said.
“And lots of aboriginal art as well. There’s Clinton Kemp who is selling traditional wood carvings and paintings, Dave Doyle has his range of lotions, there’s ceramics as well, and everything it between.”
Ms Farry said the event is the biggest market of the year for a lot of the makers.
“It’s been months of getting ready for it,” she said.
“Lots of making and thinking about packaging and marquees, they’ve been hard at work preparing!”
Familiar faces like artist John Dynon, AKA The Emu Man, and Barb Quayle, who sells her jewellery under her label Parlirika Barka are amongst the stallholders.
The markets will run over the course of the festival.
