Your Host
Hi, Iām Alison from Banksia Babywear, and Iām proud to be hosting the Macquarie Artisan Meetup in the ACT. I create beautiful and practical babywear in Australiana prints, inspired by my own journey as a mum. What started with sewing for my little ones has grown into a business filled with pieces made for real life and little adventures. Iām looking forward to connecting with other makers, sharing stories and sparking ideas. See you there! ā Alison

Questions? Weāve got answers!
Do I need to be a Madeit member to attend?
Nope! These meetups are open to all Australian artisansāwhether you sell on Madeit, at markets, or youāre just getting started. Come as you are.
What actually happens at an Artisan Meetup?
Each session runs for one hour and follows a simple format:
ā Grab a cuppa (your shout!)
šš¼ Introduce yourself
š Share what youāre working on
š¬ Chat through a creative topic (pulled from the Conversation Pot!)
šš¼ Leave with one small action to move you forward
Meetup Locations?
Across Australia!! We will keep adding to the list as our Madeit Hosts are added.
We are so excited to see Meetups running around the country!! If you'd like to host a meetup, click here. If you'd like to keep in the loop for the events, make sure you subscribe.
Can I run one of these near me?
Yesāand weād love that! If you're a current Madeit member, you can host a Madeit Artisan Meetup in your local area.
Weāve created a simple format thatās easy to follow, so every meetup feels connectedāno matter where itās held. You donāt need to be a teacher or a public speaker, just someone who values connection and creativity.

- Custom graphics for your event
- Promotion across Madeitās social media, email, and website
- Monthly conversation prompts
- We'll also feature your meetup photos to inspire others around the country!
Just follow the format, gather your local makers, and let the magic happen.
