Craft a Gift: In-Person Adult Sessions
Join us for our new Craft a Gift adult sessions to enjoy calming crafts, a warm cuppa and a good natter with our friendly group. Book to come along for some much needed ‘you’ time or bring along friends that might need a bit of company in the run up to the festive season.
Each week we will be trying out a new rustic craft and exploring materials including wool, macramé and stamp printing. You’ll make beautiful handcrafted gifts along with a greetings card and wrapping paper to package up into a wonderful present to give to someone special or enjoy yourself.
