The enduring magic of handmade gifts

Trio Art Studio's Maxine McKee.

As the festive season approaches, Trio Art Studio and Gallery Kyneton is excited to announce its annual Christmas celebration, inviting the community to rediscover the joy of meaningful giving.

This year’s event highlights a curated selection of handmade and vintage gifts, each crafted by local artisans or sourced from unique vintage collections.

The gallery’s initiative encourages shoppers to move beyond mass-produced goods and embrace gifts that carry personal stories, creativity and a sense of history.

“Every item in our collection reflects the spirit and heritage of its maker,” says owner Maxine McKee.

“By choosing handmade or vintage, you’re not just giving a gift — you’re supporting local artists and honouring cherished traditions.”

Trio Art Studio and Gallery invites you to celebrate the season with a festive day of shopping, creativity and community. Alongside nibbles and drinks, you’ll also discover some thoughtfully crafted items that reflect beloved Christmas carols and meaningful symbols of faith.

“May these treasures inspire hope, joy and the true spirit of Christmas in your celebrations,” Maxine says.
