Growing our workshop, growing our space!

In 2025 the workshop has continued to thrive. We have an ever growing team of makers and staff who show up every week with creativity and dedication. While we are delighted to have more people through our doors, our staff and makers will agree that in 2025 our workshop space and storage had been feeling rather full. Therefore we are thrilled to have taken on an additional unit in the same building that more than doubles our space! The new unit is on the floor below the current workshop, so our makers and staff can easily move between the spaces.

The lease was signed on Christmas Eve. The first thing we had to do after Christmas was deep clean as the unit had been empty for a while before we moved in. We worked hard in the run up to the new year to make it sparkle ready for makers to use at the start of January.

We have also taken the opportunity of textiles moving downstairs to make some changes to our original space. We built a brand new assembly table for upstairs and makers will benefit from more designated benches for woodwork and pewter.

The opening of the new space brings many possibilities. It will be predominately used for textiles, which has become very popular with our makers over the last year. The space will also host our exciting new venture of sewing classes for the public starting in March.
