The Craft

We opened in March 2003 after having previously been associated with a number of craft shops in Bath, Salisbury and Cheltenham. These were all co-operatives which made for long meetings and endless phone calls, so as the last one came to its natural end due to rent rises, myself and my husband saw the shop we now occupy up for sale and told Mum and Dad. Having at that time lived near Chippenham for the best part of 30 years we knew that it could benefit from a good quality gift shop, so after doing some dead 'ard sums and taking into account the benefits of only being 10 minutes away from work it was almost a no-brainer and here we are today.
