Meet Claudia, the artist behind Claudia Rose Studio.

Claudia’s journey into art started a few years ago when she picked up a paintbrush to create a birthday present for her partner and she hasn’t stopped painting since.

What began as a gift quickly became something much more. For Claudia, painting is a way to express what words sometimes can’t, explore her creativity and find a little more of herself along the way.

Every piece comes from a personal place, and the support she receives through her art allows her to keep creating and doing what she loves.

Discover Claudia and her beautiful work at our markets this weekend!

Meet Hollie, the creative hands behind Authete Studio- a small-batch experimental ceramics studio based in Greater Newy on Wonnarua Land. Creating each piece from her home studio, Hollie believes the everyday objects we use the most deserve just as much thought and creativity in their design.

With a love for bringing form and function together, her ceramics are designed to be used, loved and bring a little more personality to the everyday. As Hollie puts it, she wants your plate to serve you attitude while it serves you dinner.

Each piece is made in small batches, giving Authete Studio's ceramics their own unique character and making them the kind of pieces you'll want to reach for every day.

Discover Hollie and Authete Studio at our next Olive Tree Market at Civic Park!

Stallholder Spotlight ☕

Meet the Wilder family, the crew behind Rara Vanbar, a lovingly restored 1950s vintage caravan turned boutique coffee trailer..

You’ll usually find Sunny behind the coffee machine serving Old Quarter coffee, nitro cold brew on tap and a delicious range of hot and cold drinks, while Casey enjoys market day with their two little ones.

For the Wilder family, Rara Vanbar is about more than great coffee. They’re passionate about community, quality and regenerative living- values that flow through everything they do.

It’s also what they love about Olive Tree: the strong community feel, support for local makers, beautiful Civic Park location and the free kids activities that make market day something the whole family can enjoy.

Come say hello and grab your market morning coffee from them at our September 5th market. 💕
