Wood & Furniture

Anarchy Wood Concepts

Former barista Keanan Hardegon stumbled into woodwork through a wedding gift — a custom chopping board that made him think, *I can do that*. Now he works in timber and resin across personalised signs, charcuterie boards, children's height rulers and river tables. The pivot from café floors to home workshop, prompted by fatherhood, shows in the work: domestic in scale, made to be given.

Arts Margaret River

Five decades of programming—music, theatre, cinema, visual art, workshops—now anchored in Nala Bardip Mia, the purpose-built facility that locals call Margaret River HEART. The organisation's flagship event, the Margaret River Readers & Writers Festival, is the largest regional literary gathering in WA. Community-run, volunteer-supported, and genuinely broad in ambition.

Boranup Gallery

Thirty years in a rammed-earth building off Caves Road, deep in karri forest, and Boranup Gallery still earns the detour. New owner Pete Kalbfell runs the space with a cafe and floor full of work — Justin Webb's reclaimed-steel roosters and emus, large-format acrylics by Janey Emery, and marri or jarrah dining tables with natural edges and resin river inlays.

Bushy Art Gallery

Bushy Art Gallery, tucked away in Western Australia, operates as an accessible creative hub open daily from morning through afternoon. The gallery showcases visual art with a generous spirit, welcoming both established and emerging artists to exhibit work across diverse media. The space feels intimate yet energised—a place where conversations about art flow naturally and connections between maker and audience feel genuine. Whether you're seeking to acquire work, gather inspiration, or simply witness creativity in action, Bushy Art Gallery extends a warm invitation. Its consistent daily hours reflect a commitment to accessibility, making it an easy stop for anyone exploring the local art scene with curiosity and an open heart.

Christian Fletcher Gallery - Dunsborough

Thirty years into his practice, Christian Fletcher still shoots the Western Australian coastline like he's seeing it for the first time. His Dunsborough gallery — a small shopfront on Dunn Bay Road — sells large-format landscape photographs of Cable Beach, Esperance and the South West, available as limited editions or rolled prints. The light in the images is the point.

Ceramics & Clay

Claymates Studio

Ceramic artist Kate Lethlean runs this hand-building studio and gallery out of Cowaramup, between Margaret River and Dunsborough. Classes work in stoneware—wall sconces, pet bowls, coastal-cast forms—while Lethlean's own porcelain tableware and botanical objects, pressed from actual foliage and flowers, fill the gallery she calls the Herbarium. Studio passes are available for independent makers who want time in the space without a structured class.

Dilkes-Hoffman Ceramics

Ten minutes from Margaret River's main street, on Caves Road, this family studio has been making hand-thrown pottery, sculpture, and moulded ceramics since 1991. The bush setting is genuinely quiet. Weekday hours are reliable; weekends require a call ahead.

Ceramics & Clay

Fi Wilkie Art @ Toot Studio

Fi Wilkie works from Margaret River's bush fringe, making paintings and collages drawn from the region's banksia woodland, birdlife, and coastline. Her plein air series has her hauling an easel across Gracetown and Redgate Beach; her collage work grew from a trip to Karijini. Prints start from $45. Workshops run from beginner collage to group sessions for regional communities.

Jewellery & Metalwork

Flux & Facet Studio Workshop

Emma Miller — qualified gemmologist and jewellery designer trained under local maker John Miller — runs silver jewellery workshops out of a relaxed studio in Vasse. No experience required: you work from raw silver to finished piece, then mark the occasion with local produce and sparkling wine. The compliments, she notes, are entirely yours.

Jewellery & Metalwork

Glitterati

A Margaret River jewellery store trading as Glitterati Carriage Jewellers, stocking rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings across several brands, among them Pandora and NAJO. The range runs from sterling silver and 14k gold-plated pieces set with cubic zirconia to rings holding turquoise, blue topaz and diamond, alongside licensed Disney and Marvel designs.

Ceramics & Clay

Happs Pottery

Myles Happ has spent nearly 30 years firing reduction stoneware on Caves Road in Anniebrook, selling pots alongside his own single-origin honey from a studio shop set in an old cottage. Drop-in pottery lessons run an hour and a half — no experience required. A Ramsay Healthcare order for 7,200 pieces suggests the corporate giftware side has outgrown the hobby category too.

Wood & Furniture

Ian Thwaites

Ian Thwaites makes wood furniture and design pieces from a studio in Margaret River. Designer, maker, teacher — he wears all three roles. The work is the pitch: timber turned into considered objects built to last in a home rather than outlast their welcome in a showroom.

Ceramics & Clay

Jacob Lyon Pottery

Jacob Lyon learned to throw in Dunsborough before setting up his own 150m² studio on Friesian Street in Cowaramup in 2024. The glazes reference specific local landmarks — the white sand of Meelup, the forest of Boranup. Classes run to six people, all taught by Jacob. Open weekends.

Wood & Furniture

JahRoc Galleries

Gary Bennett and David Paris have been making furniture from salvaged Western Australian native hardwoods since 1987. The main street gallery is gone — sold in 2023 after two decades — but the work continues by appointment in Margaret River. Pieces have reached collectors internationally. The current focus is custom orders, with Argyle pink diamond jewellery also available to view alongside the furniture.

Jewellery & Metalwork

John Miller Design

John Miller Design sits minutes from Yallingup's surf breaks, where jeweller John Miller works alongside two apprentices in a solar-powered workshop and gallery. The pieces draw directly from the southwest landscape — and the property's Land for Wildlife listing suggests that relationship runs deeper than marketing. Come to watch work in progress, or to talk through a commission.

Wood & Furniture

John Streater Fine Furniture

John Streater has worked hardwood at his bench on Blythe Road since raising the workshop himself in 1988, building bespoke jarrah, marri and tuart pieces from timber taken out of the surrounding bush. Each carries a hand-carved inlaid gum leaf. The east room shows glass, painting, photography, pearls and sculpture by other Western Australian makers. Open daily, twelve minutes inland from Yallingup beach.

Jewellery & Metalwork

Margaret River Artisan Store

A collective shop where local makers — jewellers like Andrea Isaac, leatherworkers, skincare producers, and Re-Tyre, whose shoes are made from hemp and recycled inner tubes — share one roof. The range is genuinely wide; the goods are handmade. Worth time on any Margaret River itinerary that runs past the obvious wine stops.

Visual Art

Margaret River Printmaking

Bologna-trained printmaker Francesco Geronazzo runs this Margaret River studio, teaching traditional techniques to locals and visitors. A decorated practitioner — multiple Giorgio Morandi prizes among his credits — Geronazzo splits his time between Western Australia and Italy, bringing a European printmaking education to the southwest. Classes run from the studio; works are available for purchase.

Wood & Furniture

Margaret River Sculpture Park

Sculpture set in open ground at 19 Grosse Road, Hamelin Bay — open daily from 9am to 6pm. The specifics beyond that are thin, but the setup is clear: a dedicated outdoor park where three-dimensional works sit in a West Australian bush setting. Worth the detour if you're already tracing the Hamelin Bay coastline.

Visual Art

Martin Pavey Wood Design

Martin Pavey works by appointment from a studio on Yates Road, hand-carving bowls and sculptures from local Jarrah, Jarrah Burl, Sheoak and Marri. The ocean shapes much of his imagery — Dragon Tails, Space Starfish, Alien Egg — and prices run from $29 bottle stoppers to $3,850 sculptural pieces. Call ahead.

McCanns Upholstery & Furniture

Five decades of upholstery work sits behind this Margaret River furniture business — domestic, commercial, motor trimming, canvas. The McCanns make furniture as well as sell it, and will re-upholster what you already own. West Australian materials feature throughout the showroom alongside beds and accessories. Custom work quoted on request.

Ceramics & Clay

Melting Pot Glass Studio

Gerry Reilly works with hot-blown and sculpted glass six mornings a week at this Margaret River studio, turning molten material into landscape series pieces, sculptural installations, and tableware stocked at Leeuwin Estate and Fremantle Arts Centre. Morning workshops take individuals and small groups through the process. The heat is real; so are the results.

Wood & Furniture

Nathan Day Design

Nathan Day spent time at England's Edward Barnsley Workshop before building a furniture practice in Margaret River country. His Vasse workshop produces dining tables, desks, and cabinets from jarrah and walnut — sometimes scorched, sometimes ebonised — using torsion box construction and vacuum forming alongside traditional joinery. Three lecterns for the Australian Embassy in Washington DC sit at one end of the commission spectrum; a dining table for your house at the other.

Jewellery & Metalwork

Payet Gallery

Six kilometres south-west of Margaret River township, Nicholas and Francois Payet design and make everything in a purpose-built gallery-workshop on Boodjidup Road. Visitors watch the work happen. Pieces range from the $1,160 Tidal Moon Earrings to a $5,600 Johannason and Fire Ring — jewellery priced for serious collectors, made where you can see exactly how it's done.

Revealing Timber

Revealing Timber showcases woodwork and furniture on Owen-Tucker Lane in Western Australia, where the grain and character of timber take centre stage. Open through the working week, this studio demonstrates a commitment to letting wood's natural beauty guide design and craft decisions. The maker's name itself speaks volumes—this is work about revealing what timber already contains, rather than imposing upon it. Visitors discover furniture and pieces that respect the material's history and individuality, combining traditional woodworking skills with contemporary sensibility. Revealing Timber invites you to appreciate timber not as a commodity, but as a partner in creation—full of possibility and quiet dignity.

Ceramics & Clay

River Ceramics

Jolene Rendell came to clay in 2018 after a decade in architectural design, and the influence shows. Her Margaret River studio specialises in sgraffito — a carving technique she's developed largely through self-directed trial — applied to functional ware, wall art, and a sculptural series of woodland creatures that won the Margaret River Art Prize in 2022. Workshops run locally; courses are available online.

Textile & Fibre

Rivers of Silk

Michelle Miller runs silk painting workshops out of a purpose-built studio in Cowaramup, taking participants from age three to ninety-three through techniques suited to wearing or framing. The she-shed setup keeps things small and direct — you're learning from the maker. Gift vouchers available.

Jewellery & Metalwork

Salt Water & Fire Pearls

Colleen's pearl jewellery — strands, studs, pendants, bangles, rings — turns up at regional markets from Dunsborough to Perth and sits permanently at Fremantle's Artisan Store on High Street. The pieces work with pearls as a material rather than a motif: worn close to skin on neoprene and leather as readily as precious metal.

Ceramics & Clay

Sensei Pots Studio Gallery

Ian Beniston has been wheel-throwing pots near Yallingup since 1987, building his own gas kilns and mixing his own glazes — the copper reds in particular have a depth that photographs don't capture. One of his large forms now sits in the Royal Collection. The studio gallery is open to visitors; the surf is five minutes away.

Solid Furniture

Solid Furniture on Ironstone Place, Western Australia, specialises in robust, beautifully crafted wooden furniture designed to last.

The maker's commitment to quality construction means pieces improve with age and use. Solid Furniture represents the kind of maker-driven practice where durability and design are never at odds.

Visual Art

Studio Gallery Yallingup

The building alone earns a visit: Donnybrook stone set against a minimalist structure drawn from Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion, designed by Stephen Coates of aCTa. Inside, painting, mixed media and sculpture from represented Australian artists rotate through solo and group shows. The bush garden out back is worth the detour.

Suzy French Art

Suzy French art Suzy French works from a studio in Metricup painting what she calls "memories of the country." Her mixed-media works on aluminium composite panel — including the 122×122cm *Earth Mother* at $7,500 — are sold direct and shipped freight-free across Australia. Commissions accepted.

Ceramics & Clay

The Barn, MR

Abby Lovis bought a four-acre Rosa Glen property and turned a derelict shed into a working studio. Her mother Honor Denby makes art from salvaged and discarded materials — seeing use where others see waste. The family dog Murphy, an eyepatch-wearing softie, is immortalised in the logo. Small-scale, personal, and quietly doing its own thing.

Visual Art

The Farm Margaret River

A family property on Wardandi Country converted into artist studios — shearing shed, stables, hay shed — and run as a not-for-profit residency program since 2017. Artists come to work; the karri and marri bushland, an artesian spring and audible surf do the rest. Helen Taylor Mack and Darryl Mack founded it. The land informs the art. That's the whole idea.

Wood & Furniture

Timber Grooves

Vasse-based workshop turning Margaret River–region timber into surf racks, dining tables and chess boards with jarrah inlay. The material range tells the story: marri, jarrah, camphor laurel, American white oak. Surfboard racks start at $275; dining tables run to $8,000. Custom work and fitouts available on request.
