About the Quest
A Marketplace Rooted in Tradition and Craftsmanship
At Nana’s Quest, every stitch, bead, and brushstroke tells a story. We are more than a marketplace—we are a home for artisans and lovers of handmade treasures, preserving traditions and celebrating creativity across generations.
How My Quest Began
Nana’s Quest was inspired by cherished childhood memories of crafting with my Nana and Mum. One hot Australian summer at the Northam Market, I watched my Nana proudly display her handmade treasures, each stitch filled with love and care. Through her and my mum’s passion for weaving, sewing, and mosaicking, I learned that crafting is more than making—it’s storytelling, tradition, and connection.
Nana’s Quest is my way of honouring these incredible women and every artisan who keeps the art of handmade alive.
