Launching this week in a lovingly re-decorated pop-up shop on Charles Street, Makers' Nest will be open for 12 days in the lead up to Christmas.

Starting in Launceston six years ago and spearheaded by resident Bec Miller, Makers' Nest has since spread its wings and ventured all over the state, most recently putting on a major design show down south in the state's capital.

With the Hobart show officially wrapped, Ms Miller is back home in Launceston and has set up shop in a vacant retail space in the city's CBD, showcasing everything from Christmas puddings to jewellery and cheese boards.

"All our makers and designers apply and then we evaluate how much of the product is Tasmanian made or how much of an input is Tasmanian-based before we allow them to display," Ms Miller said.

One of this year's producers is Ulverston taste-maker Debbie Woodcock, who is displaying her Pure and Purple Garlic produce, including her new range of fermented garlics, which recently won gold at the Sydney Fine Food Awards.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the shop, Swan Bay local Sharee Brown is showcasing her nature-inspired laser-etched cutting boards and wooden kitchen wares.

Despite her wooden designs now appearing in six retailers across the state, Ms Brown said she fell into the craft entirely by accident.

"I just bought a laser cutter to see what I could do. I gave this a go just for fun and then people started buying them and now it's my full-time job," she said.

Similarly, Ms Woodcock started up her business six years ago while looking for something to do with her sister-in-law after they retired.

"We were both just looking for some pocket money," she said. While both started out with modest ambitions, the two unexpected business owners discovered a public eager to support local producers.

"Tasmania has some of the best makers in the country and people love to give handmade or unique gifts at Christmas," Ms Brown said.

The Makers' Nest Launceston pop-up will be open every day until December 21.
