About the Quest

Welcome to Nana’s Quest, a heartfelt journey into the world of handmade treasures and traditional craftsmanship. At Nana’s Quest, we’re more than just a marketplace; we’re a community built on the love of art, culture, and generations of creative storytelling.

How My Quest Began

The spark for Nana’s Quest came from the cherished memories of my childhood. Hot Australian summers spent with my nana at the bustling Northam Market, watching her proudly showcase her handcrafted treasures. My nana, like many others, poured her heart into every stitch, every creation.

Together with my mum, they became my pillars of inspiration — weaving, sewing, and mosaicing their way through life with unparalleled passion. This platform is my way of honouring them and preserving the traditions they held so dear. It’s a tribute to all nanas, past and present, and the generations they’ve inspired.

At Nana’s Quest, our mission goes beyond commerce. It’s about preserving the timeless traditions of making, supporting artisans, and celebrating the art of creation. Every piece tells a story, from the hands that made it to the hearts it touches.

We aim to connect artisans and buyers, creating a circle of appreciation and support that keeps the fire of tradition burning bright.
