A MARKET filled with beautiful hand-made products, vintage artisan creations and good vibes is making its way to Maroochydore.

Syndicate Creative is hosting an artisan market for those looking to add something different to their collection.

Owner Bree-anne Jeffrey said the idea stemmed from wanting to bring creatives together to showcase their work at an affordable price.

The focus on selling hand-made items was important to Ms Jeffrey, she said.

"I really wanted to hold a market in a condensed space where you can come and know that a lot of work has gone into the products by the friendly people in front of you,” she said.

"Unless you stop and talk to the stall holders, you often don't know when things are hand-made, so I wanted to help the public see the value and quality in hand-made products.”

Food vendors or those wanting to showcase their own artisan products have the option to book a stall for the day.

Little Sisters Coffee Co owner Evelyn Chan held a food stall at a previous Syndicate Creative market and was "really overwhelmed by the amount of people that came”.

"We sold way more coffee than we had anticipated and had to rush back to the shop to get more because we cleared out,” she said.

Ms Chan said she believed the Coast had been "waiting for a market like this”.

"They want markets that aren't just fruit and veg, they want something that is artisan, hand-made and beautiful,” she said.

The Artisan Market will be held at Syndicate Creatives workshop at Maroochydore.

It will start May 5 from 9am-1pm and will be held the first Sunday of every month thereafter.
