Some of us trained and worked in art and craft from an early age, but many of us have previously had varied careers and life experiences. We met at craft-shows in the area, and later came together to find a permanent outlet.
The Brecon Beacons National Park helped us to obtain EC funding, and in November 1996, we moved into our shop in a new custom-built development in the centre of Brecon. Our members did the shop fitting and decorating, just in time for the Christmas rush!
We have now registered ourselves as a co-operative with 16 members, and we are continuing to staff the shop ourselves.
The shop also shows high quality work by about fifty other craftspeople.
