Jewellery & Metalwork
argenton Design
Byron Bay jeweller working in 14ct rose gold with rose-cut diamonds, ruby baguettes, and natural diamond studs. The pieces are small in scale, restrained in palette — the kind you wear every day without thinking about it, then notice you never take off.
Ceramics & Clay
Art & Wine Co. Byron Bay
On Jonson Street, in the heart of Byron Bay, this studio runs painting sessions paired with wine and live music — adults after dark, kids in the afternoon. A balcony overlooks downtown at sunset.

BAYSPOKE STUDIO
Alby Johnston founded Bayspoke Studio in Byron Bay in 2015 with a specific preoccupation: furniture that rewards close attention.

Ceramics & Clay
Brooke Clunie Red Door Studio
Brooke Clunie has been throwing pots for over 25 years from her studio in Fernleigh, deep in the Byron hinterland. The work divides between restful stoneware — simple forms in sage, blush, stone — and looser decorative earthenware. Her travel cups ($55–58) ship in 6–10 weeks; Brooke makes, glazes and packs every piece herself. Two-pot sessions let visitors throw alongside her, valley views included.
Textile & Fibre
Byron Alterations
Ghosne Aoun spent two decades making costumes for opera, theatre, film and television before settling in Byron Bay. Her shop on Brigantine Street handles the full range — alterations, leatherwork, tailoring — drawing on the same skills she developed at Opera Australia and on international film sets. Few places in the region can claim that kind of background for a hem job.

Wood & Furniture
Fabrica Joinery
Two Swedes by way of Britain built something worth examining on Acacia Street. Jake Green trained in traditional upholstery and furniture making in the UK; Johan Larsson learned his trade in northern Sweden before graduating from ANU's furniture programme under George Ingham.

Visual Art
Gallery Cosmosis
Japanese artist Yao Mikami works with natural pigments — ground rocks, trees, stone — binding Shinto animism to canvas. The Byron Bay gallery shows her lockdown-era paintings: layered landscapes populated by spirits she describes as heard, not imagined. The materials leave a literal impression of earth on the surface.
Printmaking
Graphic Expressions (GEXprint)
Kevin, Tina and Tate run this Byron Bay print production centre, handling fine art giclee reproduction, large-format posters, scanning, artwork photography and colour correction. The team stocks textured and matt art papers, and will frame the finished piece too. Solid technical range for artists needing faithful reproduction rather than a print-on-demand portal.
Jewellery & Metalwork
Hammer & Hand Gallery
Since 1995, this jewellery and metalwork collective on Station Street has run on a simple model: around nine working makers share a studio gallery, each trading independently. Turn up on any day and someone's at the bench. The range runs from forged iron and stainless steel utensils to bench-made jewellery and sculpture — all of it made here.
Visual Art
Haven Gallery Byron Bay
The old Woolworths building on Jonson Street now houses projection, sculpture, sound and interactive installation across a reimagined interior that functions as a single continuous artwork. Exhibitions change; the scale doesn't. It's one of the more committed attempts at immersive art outside a capital city, and the transformed streetscape means the work starts before you're through the door.
Ceramics & Clay
Home Makers Club
Becca runs private creative workshops out of Byron Bay — paint-and-sip sessions, intuitive painting, kids' parties, and jewellery-making under the "Not Your Nanna's Pearls" banner. Groups book the whole thing: hens weekends, corporate retreats, birthday parties. The floral arrangements use blooms grown on-property. It's hands-on, it's for hire, and it works better than another dinner reservation.
Wood & Furniture
JD Lee Furniture
Jeremy Lee trained in industrial design before apprenticing as a furniture maker — an unusual double that shapes how JD.Lee Furniture operates from its Mullumbimby workshop. Pieces are built around traditional joinery, with repair and recycling folded into the offer alongside new commissions. The through-line is timber furniture designed to be fixed rather than replaced.
Ceramics & Clay
Keramika Ceramics
Tali Cohen-Flantz grew up on an Israeli moshav shaped by Tunisian and Persian grandparents; that layered sense of making and gathering now runs through her Mullumbimby studio on Station Street.

The studio is open weekdays for browsing, and the kiln is available for communal or private firings.

Visual Art

Still @ the Centre Arts
Sabine's Byron Bay shop stocks what she describes as an extensive range of art materials sourced from around the world — the result of deliberate comparison and research rather than convenience buying. The counter doubles as a consultation point for technical questions about materials and budget. A sister residency runs April to September in Provence, near Arles, for two weeks to three months.
Textile & Fibre

A sewing shop in Byron Bay that covers the full textile loop: organic fabrics, buttons, zippers, thread, and haunted haberdashery on the shelf; alterations, mending, and custom tailoring by appointment; and classes for those who'd rather learn.

Jewellery & Metalwork
The Jewellers Workshop
Florian Beck has worked as a jeweller in Byron Bay since 1997, operating from a small shop in Byron Arcade on Lawson Street.

Pink diamonds are a quiet specialty, stocked as long-term investments as much as adornments.
Wood & Furniture
THE PURC SHOP
Marty Purcell has been making timber beds in the Northern Rivers since 2015 — no MDF, no offshore factories. The range runs from Montessori-style floor beds for toddlers (from $298) through to adult frames, all in sustainable Australian hardwood finished with non-toxic oils. Made to order, eight to ten weeks out.
Visual Art
The Space Cowboy Gallery
The artist behind this Byron Bay gallery goes by The Space Cowboy — holder of 56 Guinness World Records and maker of paintings that double as animations. Point a smartphone at the canvas via the Artivive app and hidden video sequences emerge. Anthropomorphic animals, layered textures, street art inflections: the work is maximalist in intent, and the AR hook is genuinely novel.
Jewellery & Metalwork

The Wood Lab Au
Czech-born carpenter Vojtech works out of a Byron Bay workshop with his kelpie, Pepper, producing furniture from Australian hardwoods — dining tables, beds, bookcases, consoles. His signature move: mitred edges that create waterfall grain effects, letting the timber's natural character do the work. Custom commissions welcome; grazing boards are the unlikely bestseller come December.
Textile & Fibre

Family-run from Mullumbimby for over 20 years, Tie Dye Fun sells non-toxic, sun-set dye kits—paint on fabric, leave in the sun, done. No soda ash, no chemicals. Kits start at $30; mobile workshops come to you anywhere in Byron Shire for groups of seven or more.

Wood & Furniture
Woodwork for Women
Patt Gregory has been teaching women to build furniture in Mullumbimby for over two decades. Her approach skips sample joints entirely — students start the actual project on day one, learning tool handling and construction logic through a mind-body method she developed after training as a carpenter-joiner in Bristol in the 1980s. Daybeds, dining tables, bookcases. Real things, made properly.
