This vibrant group, made up of around thirty-five members, gathers every Monday morning
to enjoy a wide range of craft activities. Beyond creativity, the group offers a warm and
welcoming social space where members can enjoy a cup of tea, a chat, and the chance to both
share and learn new skills.

The group will take a short break for the month of August but will return in September with
an exciting 3D decoupage class, led by a trainer from LCETB.
