Craft and Card-Making

Contact the Convenor

Come along and share the crafts you already do or maybe pick up some new ideas from other members. This is a new group which meets once a month and it is hoped that it will stimulate shared learning of skills and opportunities to try new things.

Members will supply their own materials although, in time, it is likely that some materials will be swapped or shared. Craft that is suitable for carrying on a bus is a must but that could include card-making, needle felting, ribbon embroidery, embroidery, crochet, needle painting, knitting and much more; time together will bring lots of ideas. 

There will be some showcasing of skills and an opportunity to build new ideas into your work or to start something completely new.

It is hoped that there will also be advice on garment alteration, or help with sewing items already started (no sewing machines, just friendly help and advice); you might come along just once but end up with the crafting bug!
