Saturday’s Jamoff at Craft2.0 was a great success. We were on the spot with this video report. Jams were given marks out of five based on attributes of taste, colour, set, originality and presentation.

Spring is in the air and Craft2.0 is back. Wellington’s favourite indie craft market returns to TheNewDowse this Saturday October 30th. Instead of hibernating, loads of crafty types from wellington, and a bit beyond spent their winter months getting excited and making things, with one purpose in mind – Craft2.0. Craft2.0 is a special shopping […]
