Sharing the Crafts...


About 18 months ago I came across a fantastic shop in my hometown in Germany. It is called 'Kunst und Handwerk Geschenkeladen', which translates to 'Art and Craft Giftshop'. People of different craft backgrounds are sharing this shop. Each has their own shelf space, which they decorate with their handmade items to their own needs and liking.

This idea impressed me so much that I always thought it would be a great idea to bring over to Northern Ireland. It is fantastic if you want to sell your own things, but are never able to create enough to fill a whole shop. Unfortunately I think the rent for a retail unit would be so high that you could never afford it. Well, you are allowed to dream...
