My name is Jess Richards and I'm the founder of Shrewsbury Arts and Crafts and Shrewsbury Arts Trail.
00:05
Yeah, so a few months back I was in quite a sad position and thought I'd have to shut my shop
00:10
and I didn't want it to go to nothing so I contacted Catherine Berry from the library here.
00:16
We've worked together for years for Shrewsbury Arts Trail and I approached her about some space
00:22
for a concession and we got it passed by Shropshire Council so we've got a shop here
00:26
and the shop over in Purchase House is still running, just gone under renovation so both are now open.
00:34
I mean the staff here is so lovely, it's such an amazing space, I feel really honoured to be here
00:39
and you know we did a soft launch, we didn't want to kind of like tell everybody straight away
00:44
take it slowly, get the shop ready, the staff used to it but yeah the first day, Saturday
00:50
there was quite a few sales coming in before we'd even pushed anything so yeah it's going really well.
00:56
They're all locally made and handmade goods, we've got ceramics and this is by Rose Norm
01:01
and we've just sold it's sister actually in the shop at Purchase House and we've got jewellery,
01:06
paintings, prints, cards so yeah the same kind of range that we've got in Purchase House
01:13
but with the shop here at the library I wanted to bring in more artists from the Arts Trail
01:18
and different artists from around Shropshire so.
