Hamlet Haberdashers

Every Monday morning I go to Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet where I am a member of the Hamlet Haberdashers. We renovate and make things for the Hamlet. At the moment I am making a second rag rug. The first one I worked on (with others) is now in one of the houses at the Hamlet.

Exchange Place Studios Sheffield

On Monday I visited my friend Sue's new studio at Exchange Place in Sheffield. It is an amazing place with a great view over the back of the old Castle Market. Exchange Place is a beautiful building from the 1920s and was WHSmith department store until it closed in the 1960s. Sue's studio is on the third floor which was the Drapery Department.
