We are opening a SHOP!
So along with making lino goodies we will be purveyors of handmade and vintage delights !
The shop "Gleaners Inc." will be situated in Brunswick in the foyer area of the historic old Perucci shirt factory in Ballarat St. The factory is now called "Gracious Space" and is the home of several Brunswick artists and craftspeople.
The factory was originally built in 1955 for Yakka Overalls, and has also housed Fletcher Jones.The facade has a heritage overlay, and almost nothing has been changed from the original modernist design.
We open on the 10th of October , so follow us on the Gleaners Inc. blog, Facebook page or Twitter for updates!
We are now sourcing handmade items for the shop. If you have a unique vintage, recycled or prepurposed inspired product and would like to be a part of this exciting new enterprise, email us at gleanersinc@gmail.com
There is also an opportunity for a craftsperson to share studio space at "Gleaners Inc." and display their products in the shop. Email us to chat at gleanersinc@gmail.com
