Granny Green's Big Day Out
Granny Greens will be setting up a wee crafting corner on Sunday, drop in and learn some new skills, make something and have a natter, I hear they may even share their sweets!
They will be teaching the basics of different crafts, including knitting, crochet and cross-stitch and will also be surrounded by examples of the fabulous things they make. Bring along your own project, something you're stuck with, or come completely unprepared and take home a little kit to get you started.
Granny Greens is a fabulous group who meet weekly at Fredericks Coffee House, Edinburgh to craft, plus they hold monthly workshops, book groups, film groups, tastings and talks!

Silverhub Studios
My friend (and, I might add amazing jeweller) Lisa Arnott has just opened Silverhub Studios, a new resource for aspiring and established jewellery designers in Edinburgh. Based on Leith Walk there are 10 permanent benches and 6 open access benches available to rent plus a whole host of equipment available to use including pegs, saws, files, pliers, doming punches and blocks, hammers, tumbler, barrel polisher, ultrasound cleaner, rolling mill, pillar drill, pendant drill, enamelling kiln and more.....PLUS books and magazines for reference. I love the ethos of the open plan skill sharing and this would be such an amazing place to work in....
It's such a beautiful, central, amazing space and I'm so proud of Lisa for realising her dream - so jewellers - go forth and occupy!
