Makers Archives Vol. 1: Things Left Unsaid

Here’s a makers market that offers more than just your usual fare of indie arts and crafts. At the Makers Archives, discover over 20 local creatives, from poets, storytellers and floral designers to fibre artists, illustrators, zine makers and more, each handpicked to share the stories behind their creations. Some booths to check out include Crafty Gadis for playful stationery, Mimo.Made for miniature clay art, IYO for colourful reusable grocery bags, and Impish Inklings for a collection of handmade linocut prints and stickers.

Fancy a poem written just for you? Look out for A Poet’s Theory, who will be on hand for personalised typewritten poetry consultations, while invited wordsmiths take the stage with live spoken-word performances. Don’t forget to swing by the Javanese aksara calligraphy booth, too, and have your name turned into a keepsake. Choose from three lesser-known writing scripts: Hanacaraka (Java), Lontara (Bugis, South Sulawesi) and Baybayin (Tagalog, Philippines). Round things out with a bit of storytelling – draw from an oracle card deck and listen to a Nusantara folktale inspired by your pick.
