Tourism organisation Visit Ballarat is bringing the best of the region to Melbourne's CBD with the . Open from 29 March until 24 April, the store will boast an eclectic collection of locally made products, tastings and Meet the Maker events. In a bid to entice more Melburnians to visit and explore the region (a 90 minute drive north-west of central Melbourne) the Pop-Up Shop is the second phase of Made of Ballarat, the region's new artisan-focused destination campaign.



In partnership with the Victorian Government, the will transform the everyday shopfront on Little Collins Street into a creative hub. Inspired by the workshops and studios of Ballarat's makers and artisans, the space is intended to stimulate the senses and give people a taste of what they can expect when they visit Ballarat. The Pop-Up Shop's Meet the Maker series gives guests the opportunity to meet local artisans and learn about their craft; offer tastings from Kilderkin Gin, Latta Wines, Salt Kitchen Charcuterie and more; and host Q&A sessions with Ballarat artisans from businesses such Backyard Beekeeping and Green Woodsmith.

Every component of the pop-up itself, from store tags and carry bags to concept walls and shelving, will have been hand-crafted by the artisans. There will be a variety of produce to sample, from Truffle salt and oil to bushfood spices, to fresh farmed trout. There will also be things like Saori woven and dyed clothing, one-off ceramics, jewellery, hand-forged knives and cordwainer-crafted shoes, in addition to prints and original artworks. An exciting list of events including tastings, workshops, demonstrations, and masterclasses will also be on offer: an opportunity not only to see what the experts are making but also to learn from them and try your own hand. The promises to be an exciting and unique experience in every way.
