Craft Centre Opens

The aptly named Ten Talents Hand Craft Centre opened with a very large crowd in attendance, on November 24. The centre, formerly Ancell's Store, at Makaraka, will give art and craft workers a place to work, show the public how the wares are crafted, and be a place where the goods can be put on display and sold. The centre is open on Fridays and Saturdays.
