With the release of the new pocket guide, a creation in itself by Lauren Mitchell and Amy Doak, called Artisans and Handmade of the Bendigo Region, you can choose from planned itineraries that will lead you straight to the heart of creative hotspots, or use the information as a guide to wandering on a whim, making discoveries as you go.
Either way, the artisans, handmade galleries and businesses from throughout the Bendigo Region are guaranteed to delight.
Perhaps you’re looking to stumble across a space that both captivates and warms you to your very soul? Bob Boutique, picture fairy-lights and indie artisans with a side of quirky and colourful, will do just that. The owner-maker-artist herself has curated a collection with an emphasis on whimsy.
Then for those who appreciate a road trip across rivers, through forests, and into the fields of the North, an artisan with a niche of his own can be found. The maker at Star Sculpture Gardens is more than happy to tell you the stories behind his sculptures, pieced together from thousands of spanners and other farm shed metal pieces.
This new pocket guide to discovering the artisans and handmade is available at visitor centres and key locations throughout the Bendigo Region.
However you decide to immerse yourself, the experiences that await you are one of a kind, just like the wares and stories of the artisans themselves.
