About this Event

Demonstrating the slowly vanishing skills that went into producing our clothing using natural materials.

Inspired by the Heritage Crafts Red List, we’re focusing on endangered crafts.


We'll supply

• All materials and tuition

• Hot/cold drinks and tasty snacks


This month

‘Tis the season for keeping warm in a hurry!


No talent for knitting? You're not the only one.


Let Heather show you how to get started with wet felting. Felting is an old heritage

craft with prehistoric links. However it still feels as modern and vibrant today.

In this session, you can make mittens or socks in a few hours.


Why not make a hat or bag to compliment your wardrobe with your own colour

blended creations? You’ll be cosy in no time.


This session is in our upstairs workshop space. We have a lift! Otherwise it is fourteen steps turn a corner and two more steps. There is an accessible loo on the same floor.
