This is a gallery that shines a light on extraordinary achievement. It is a showcase of makers and designers who set their bar high, who take a risk, who seek to push ideas, techniques, to further themselves and their work, who pursue a flight of fancy with a twinkle in the eye.

In-House Definition: done or existing within an organisation; without assistance from outside; internally.

Made In-House :  is a showcase of beautiful, functional things for the home, made at MakerSpace.

The exhibition  presented a selection of pieces that fit in a home, and presented a high quality of making and design; a mix of the quotidian and the sublime. The exhibition was set up as a curated series of scenes or tableaux: for example, a chair, side table, light, teacup and napkin set up ready for use.

William Morris famously stated “have nothing in your house you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful”.

I took a tour of MakerSpace’s creative warehouse where members participated in the culture of making with a growing, diverse range of Metal, Ceramic, Wood, Textiles, Electronics and Printmaking equipment.

I was inspired by the live demonstrations in woodwork, metalwork, ceramics, textiles and more. I find out about regular workshop classes which focused on design, making and business skills.

I browsed  the Makers Market comprised of original works by MakerSpace members and experienced some of the best in furniture, ceramics, metalwork, woodwork and industrial design.

The inaugural exhibition took place yesterday, Sunday 21st May between 10 am and 4 pm at 1/17 Barclay Street,
Marrickville NSW 2204, Australia.
