When leaving the old tobacco shop, walk back to the Market square, cross the Market into the alley you see right in front of you, with coffee house Kaldi at the corner. This area is called the Crafts quarter, because many of Gouda’s old crafts workmen and shops used to be based in this area, from pottery workshop to Goudse Syrup waffle bakeries. Walk on into the ‘Lange Groenendaal’. At the end of the street you find goldsmith Femke Boschker. Femke designs and makes her own jewellery, and most wishes you have for an ornament, necklace or arm brace, can also be custom made. Femke also re-works old jewellery into new designs.

Lange Groenendaal 112 (open Wednesday to Saturday, no shopping night)
