So...It has all happened since my last post. The Hub is now officially open as is the exhibition 'What is craft?'. Well there wasn't any champagne to wet the babies forehead. Cups of tea sandwiches and cakes which was nice but... I am sure Princess Anne would have liked a glass. The exhibtion looks great. A very interesting selection of work nicely put together. I am posting pics of the opening and from a meeting with Andreas and Kathrin.
