We meet every month to enjoy a varied programme of activities, focussed on weaving, spinning and dyeing
We love to chat, learn, and share our skills with others
we go out into the community to offer people new opportunities to find out about our crafts
we help new members to develop their skills in a friendly, supportive environment
