Jocks&Nerds continue their exploration into Shinola's Community of Crafts project with a brand new addition to the ongoing series, a temporary space to showcase local crafts in the heart of Soho, London. This week sees the launch Shinola's next part of their look at local and global crafts in the 21st century, with their very first functioning workshop space, located within their UK flagship store on Newburgh Street.
We visited the newly opened store back in January, which gave us a heavy fix of Americana, whilst also reinforced to us us why this particular part of Soho is turning into one of our favourite shopping designations in London.
After working as a stylist for five years, Ruwende took an increasing interest in how garments were designed constructed, which led to this nature progression into product design. The Community of Craft series is a great opportunity for our local craftspeople to be given exposure with a global reach.

This is a really cool initiative. It's a great way to see how things are done from up close. Are there many other in-store events planned?
