The past eleven years have been unreal!
Filled with amazing local support thay I truly appreciate. Balancing work, sports, and a social life, I love getting into my workshop evenings and weekends where possible. Making pieces that hold sentimental value and share precious memories is what keeps my passion ticking.
Slowly but surely, my father and I began gathering beautiful Tasmanian timbers from various local passionate woodworkers, creating a diverse range of timber cheese boards, chopping boards, and coat racks.
Order by order, Molly's Creations transformed into a fully registered business which led me to have stalls at the Tasmanian Craft Fair, Niche Markets, and school fairs.
I'm forever grateful for all the support, advice, and help from everyone around me. Every piece reflects a collective effort and tells a story full of my love for woodwork.
As I look into the future of MC Studio Tasmania (formally Molly's Creations), I’m both amazed and joyful about how far I've come and eager to see what’s next. Again, thank you for your support, it is appreciated. Any ideas to help me grow or possible potential to collaborate please reach out.
2025-2026
Then 2026 rolled around... and I had a bit of a rocket up my butt to really lean into what this “hobby” is actually capable of.
I stepped back, looked at the double garage and four shipping containers’ worth of timber, and thought… I have to share this. There’s too much here not to put out into the world properly.
Working in brand and marketing also made me realise there was room to refine things, especially my brand and the website. So, here we are.
Thanks for joining me over the past 11 years. It’s actually been pretty fun to look back on myself. Let’s see what’s next…
2024
Stepping back into the workshop felt like coming home in every sense. And, thankfully… cheese boards were still very much in high demand.
A week after being back in the country, I started a full-time role at S. Group as a Brand and Marketing Project Manager, while continuing to work on boards, tables, and the sale of larger natural slabs on the side.
I also attended a couple of markets, including the Christmas Niche Market at the Tram Sheds, and the business kept quietly ticking along in the background.
2021-2022
In 2021, I was juggling woodworking alongside a full-time role in metalwork design... a busy season, but a good one. That same year, I was nominated for the Tasmanian Young Achiever Awards and made it through to the semi-finalist list.
By June 2022, I was off again - this time back to America for 18 months, before returning home to Tassie in late 2024.
2021...
2020
In 2020, I came back from one of my overseas trips and gave the brand a bit of a refresh. To be honest, I didn’t expect the business to properly take off again… but with a bit of isolation and more time in the workshop, things had other plans.
Word got around pretty quickly that I was back home and making again, and orders started flowing through. But now things were a little more refined, more professional, and with larger, more considered pieces coming through the doors.
I brought a my first home, renovated a bit of that and thought my travels were done...
2017-2018
Late 2017 I attended my second Tasmanian Craft fair, growing the stall and stock even more. 300 boards come with me this time and sold 70% of them.
In 2018, I took a break to travel the world for a couple of years, but I managed to make supply for my home studio and local stores like Mum's business, Capri Launceston.
2016-2017
In 2016 I attended my first Tamsnain Craft Fair in Deloraine, taking about 100 boards and a couple of small tables.
By early 2017, you could find my pieces in galleries across the state, and they were also being shipped domestically. I had my Dad jump on board to help meet the growing demand with stocking slabs and bulk stocking some business and realestate comapnies.
One of my favorite projects early days was the bar top and high tables at Exeter Pub highlight my passion for using quality large Tasmanian timber, such as Macrocarpa.
2015
It all started back in May 2015, when I was 16 and working on a school project at Launceston Christian School. Instead of going down the usual route of selling lollies or soft drinks, I wanted to make something a bit more hands-on.
With one Facebook post by the Mother, and a bit of word of mouth, that first chopping board quickly turned into 10. It became the beginning of Molly’s Creations.
Before long, the “school project” outgrew the woodwork classroom. So I took over my dad’s workshop at home in Riverside, where things really started to take shape trailer load after trailer load of timber starting to fill the shed.
