A committee of seven in Hopedale has started a board for arts and crafts.
Sophie Pamak is the Vice Chair for the board members.
Pamak says this was started in May but is still very new and a lot of logistics need to be worked on, and funding is required.
She adds that they are looking for an adequate location to establish a craft shop.
The facility will have space for storage, arts and crafts production, and a shop to sell products.
The ideal location would also be long term and permanent.
The sewing group decided to form a board because there is no place in Hopedale to purchase any materials for arts and crafts.
Pamak adds that David Igloliorte is the Chairperson, Sophie Pamak is Vice Chair, Sandra Boone is the Treasurer, and other members include carvers and people who sew.
