Number 37 holds several weekend workshops a term with dyeing and flax flowers in the current term so far. A basket flax weaving class was run in the last weekend of November. McDonald said that her own lead lighting is sold through Torea Street Gallery and studio at Granity. Granity currently had three resident lead lighters as well as a lead light supply shop. “It is very handy that ‘Tipples’ now sells lead lighting materials as well as its brewery and cheese making materials.

It is owned by local crafts people who contribute work and also open the shop seven days a week.
