The latest on the Peppermint blog

What are you wearing today? A pair of adventure-worn jeans, a fave mood-boosting shirt… Whatever the item, chances are many people helped make it. This Ethical Clothing Australia Week, we celebrate the skilled human hands behind the clothes we wear.
It’s all creative hands on deck at Museum of Brisbane this spring, with ceramicist Bonnie Hislop and artists Sunday Jemmott and Renee Kire bringing the buzz to two fab Crafty Party events in September and November – on after dark for extra spice!

She’s giving comfort, she’s giving style, she’s giving palate-cleansing sewing. There’s nothing quite like an easy breezy dress that’s not only a dream to wear but a delight to sew, and the Peppermint Myrtle Shift Dress delivers! 
Making beautiful products is one thing. Putting your handmade craft on a table for all to see is another. Ahead of The Great Artist Market this June, we chatted to a few makers about taking risks, handling feedback and the courage behind every stall.
