Inspired by the urge to bring their Parramatta community together through crafting and making, The Elm Tree – Handmade in Australia is a pop-up market opening in the Church Street Mall’s Connection Arcade this Saturday September 28th. Supported by Parramatta Council and Pop Up Parramatta, the handmade marketplace will stock wares from 20 local artists and designers with a specific focus on sustainable products made for children. Also on offer are art and craft classes for all ages – from pre-schoolers to adults – in book binding, quilting, paper making, crochet, knitting, toy making and photography. And just in time for school holidays!
