Melbourne's penchant for small-scale design goes one further with a bubbling subculture
that sells through markets and online. Craft Victoria is the grand old (if eternally cool)
dame of the scene, with a commitment to showing and selling work that, as board member
Pene Durston says, demonstrates 'the importance of the “hand” in the production of work,
and the high level of skill invested by makers in their craft'. Thread Den, in North Mel-
bourne, combines a craft, DIY and vintage ethos with classes augmenting their retail offer-
ings. The Nicholas Building (thenicholasbuilding.blog spot.com), at the corner of Swanston
St and Flinders Lane, is the city's most concentrated artisan hub, with both small shops
(such as Buttonmania and L'uccello) as well as much-coveted studios and workshops.
