Bring your craft with you, or let me know if you would like to try or want help with any of the following: spinning, weaving, knitting, crochet, felting as there are regulars who do any or all of these and we just need to bring the appropriate equipment. Everyone is happy to share their knowledge and many people simply bring what they are doing to do it in company with like-minded people. No pressure! If you would like me to I can also bring my wood block printing kit with some blank tea towels for you to have a go at (cost £2.50). You don’t need to have done this before as it is easy to pick up and make good presents. Feel free to contact me with any queries.
