Sadly, this Bury St Edmunds craft store closed on November 30th 2019 but owner Mandy Shedden did continue trading online.

However, it is not known at this time if the business is still operating in any form. I am trying to find out and will post here when I do.

International craft awards are not easy to come by, but Mandy Shedden won a few while trading from her shop in Bury St Edmunds.

It was because of the faithful customers who nominated the shop in sufficient numbers for her to win.

These International awards are given to shops where customers have shown massive support.

And Mandy always had the kind of support that would win those awards.

But we all know that times change and businesses move on and Mandy is no different.

She is about to close the bricks and mortar shop and carry on online offering the same range of fantastic craft products at competitive prices.

Watch this short film to see what made this craft shop more than just a place to buy craft products.

Anyone who has shopped there or attended one of the many workshops or demos that Mandy ran, will know that it was much more than just a craft shop.

It was a place where anyone could learn how to use the products sold there, gain new craft skills and meet new people. The shop was an amazing place for anyone who loves learning in the company of other crafters.

Mandy was not content to simply sell you a tub of embossing powder, she wanted you to know how to get the very best out of it.

I will keep you updated as to the current status of Keep On Crafting when I find out.
