Makers On The Edge

We make crafts, art & gifts, and we host workshops: needlecrafts, collage lasercutting & more. Our shop is a cornucopia of curiosities!

Art Nouveau offcuts are the most elegant offcuts. No need to show you the product!

February is turning out to include lots of micro-carving experiments. These tiny cat engravings will become earrings! #makers555 #netheredge #sheffieldissuper #abbeydaleroad #lasercutting #laserengraving

I intended to engrave a lovely heart for my wife on Valentine's Day... but I ended up carving a tiny dung beetle! She seems delighted. Who says romance is dead? #lasercutting #laserengraving #3mm #plywood #birchply #hpclaser #making #crafting

We've got a lovely soap stamp thanks to @makers555 for their time in helping us to create this.

Keep an eye out for the new stamped soaps making an appearance this month 😍 https://t.co/8GipSFqteR

When you run your own shop, taking time out is quite terrifying - will it damage the business? Fabulously, it looks like the answer is "No!" We had an incredibly busy day today, with five new lasercutting orders, some of which will take more than a day to work through!

Phew! We've just had the biggest break EVER in Makers' history - and we REALLY needed it. Before Christmas we were on seven days a week! Now we're back, up and at 'em!

Come and check out our #makerspods! 14 local artists, crafters and curiosity hunters selling their beautiful wares.

It's taken us ages to get the pods up and working, thanks to all sorts of unexpected complications, but we're pleased we have - they look great!

Recently we've been getting into these fabulous African fabrics. They're waxed, with a high thread count, they have dense, punchy colours that don't bleach out with light behind them, and they have a cool '70s vibe. And they're inexpensive! Great for lampshades!

We've been instaquiet for a couple of months as we've been expanding the shop. Now we have a new studio upstairs, along with #quickpressgallery! That gives us more space for displays downstairs, plus our #makerspods, #diamondsandfrogs and more! I s'pose you'll want us to sho…

There! With a couple of coats of countershaded paint I think our Makers' Pods sign looks great! (Though I say it myself...) This tyoeface gives a retro look. Maybe 1930s?

Take a look at this cool lamp! Our customer brought in this West German vase, we converted it into a lamp and added a shade from fabulous African waxed fabric. The colour is so dense and punchy!

Want us to make a lamp for you?

Just making a sign to direct people to our new Makers' Pods. To paint, or not to paint, that is the question!

Oh, and if you want to rent a pod to sell your fine "crafted in Sheffield" wares, then you'd better get a wiggle on! Just three are still available!
