Good morning all.

We have some exciting things happening. Workshops are arriving very soon!

Our first one will be in March - details arriving within the next week.

To be gin with workshops will be held roughly once a month on a Monday evening at the Ibstock Wesleyan Reform Church hall, and will vary in prices depending on craft.

We are looking to hold workshops, not only for some of the more popular crafts, but also for crafts that are endangered. If you or someone you know is in the endangered crafts community don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Wishing you all a happy new year. Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas.

We will be back open again on Wednesday 7th. 1-4pm in the Wesleyan reform church rooms (just off central avenue). Remember we are now running weekly.

It’s free to attend, but donations are welcome, or even better rummage through our bring and buy craft supplies table and pop a donation in for any items you would like. This helps to pay for refreshments and goes towards the hall running costs (lighting, heating etc).

We are a cosy and friendly bunch all taking part in a wide range of crafts. Just bring along your latest project, settle down and get cosy with a cuppa. We have plenty of comfy chairs and tables. We only ask you bring a table covering for any messy crafts.

See you all soon 🧶🧵🎨🪡❤️

Hey folks. Still here. Meeting every Wednesday @ the Wesleyan reform church rooms in Ibstock. 1-4pm. Free to attend.

We have a regularly replenished bring and buy craft supply table full of wonder crafting goodies. From patterns and books, knitting needles, yarn, sewing supplies, rubber stamps, cross stitch kits and much more. Just add a donation to the pot. It’s a great way to try something new at a low cost.

Regardless of your preferred craft, you’re welcome to join us. Plenty of tables and chairs and space for those that need it (like me when I warp my loom). We have a wide range of refreshments available, including decaf options.
