🌟 Meet the Maker: Dragonlight by Thomas 🌟

At Melbourne's oldest craft market, we're proud to celebrate the incredible stories behind our makers.

Meet Thomas, the creator behind Dragonlight by Thomas (Stallholder since July 2026).

Thomas began making candles just 12 months ago after encouragement from his mum to try something creative and meaningful. What started as a new hobby has grown into a passion, with Thomas now hand-pouring beautiful candles and diffusers and sharing them with visitors as a casual stallholder in St Kilda.

As a neurodiverse maker, Thomas has found candle making to be a source of confidence, purpose and joy. He loves experimenting with new scents and finds great satisfaction in creating fragrances that smell amazing from the first burn to the very last.

One of Thomas's favourite things about the St Kilda Esplanade Market is meeting new people and being part of a welcoming community of makers. He also enjoys exploring the market and supporting fellow stallholders.

✨ Thank you for supporting small businesses and celebrating the unique talents that make our market so special.
