Just wrapped up an incredible weekend at the Bathurst Heritage Trades Trail! We showcased the the portable pieces from our incredibleMuseum collection with Adanas printing Coasters and the 1890 Pearl, churning out custom wanted certificates. Visitors loved setting their names and diving into the printing process alongside us.

We handed out personalised Coasters and Posters to those captivated by our exhibit, and many left with brochures, eager to visit us soon. The festival was buzzing with people in period attire, Penny Farthing bikes zooming by, and a showcase of heritage skills from whip cracking to blacksmithing.

This event was a treasure trove of history brought to life, and we’re already counting down to next year! A massive thank you to our dedicated team for making this a memorable experience for all ages. Here’s to keeping history alive for future generations!

Sophia's Strings

The amount of time to make an instrument is dependent upon a number of factors; the size, the type and the makers speed. To craft a standard modern 14” violin takes approximately 120 – 150 hours. The viola is of similar time as the violin, but the upper end of that time. A violoncello is approximately 300 hours and a double bass is approximately 550 hours, but that is very much dependent upon the style, which can vary widely.
