Once you’ve found the perfect piece, head over to the maker’s website or online store (via link) to purchase. Stallholders may be offering some special deals, like a sale, gift wrapping or local delivery.
Brought to you by the Blue Mountains Makers, this first time hosting of an online event will showcase a range of local Artisans and their products to peruse in one place online.

How it will work - a market board will be available on Pinterest (you do not need a Pinterest account to participate or buy products). It will showcase a link to each stallholder and an assortment of products they offer. You can then go directly to their website or one of the products listed to purchase.
