I'm the only hatter in South Australia, and one of very few in the country. I've been chugging along with my craft and business well enough thus far, but it's become increasingly apparent that it is high time I find myself a space in the Adelaide city to use as an operating workshop, potential showroom, and a place for meeting with clients which isn't a private residence.
As it is, I am looking at co-op creative spaces such as The Mill as a starting point, as this is likely more affordably achievable for me at this stage, and I also think it will be beneficial for building new relationships and creating potential collaboration by being more directly within a creative community.
