A NEW design market has found a home in Prahran, with organisers expecting more than 800 people to trawl through its stalls this weekend.

Creators Market event manager Megan Luscombe said Functions on Chapel, at the Prahran Town Hall, had been locked in as a venue for the next two years.

The event — a project of Stonnington business The Ideas Library — has grown substantially since kicking off at Malvern Town Hall in January.

“We had about 400-500 people at the first one and 700-800 at the second (at the Prahran Town Hall in April). I would expect the July market to well surpass that,” Ms Luscombe said.

The Creators Market is a showcase for the handmade and homemade, offering everything from candles and clothing to cordial and organic cookie dough.

“We’re pretty much just aiming for anyone who wants to support homemade — people who like arts and craft, homemade local produce,” Ms Luscombe said.

While the crowds are getting bigger, stalls are capped at 45 for space reasons and will vary from event to event.

“We only have two stalls per category and that means that when people walk into the market they are not being shown all the same product.”

The next Creators Market is on Saturday (July 25), 10.30am-4pm at Prahran Town Hall.
