I took this from the website of this place to explain what this is all about. As if I were to try and do it we would be here all day.

They also have a number of artists in residence that you are able to watch in action which is very interesting and are willing to speak about their work that occasionally is for sale. It really is worth checking the website out to see what is on as it changes from week to week.

IF you want to book a table/function, then give them a call instead.
