CRADLEY CRAFTING GROUP
It was a cold, dry day in January when the Craft and Chat group first met.
Since then we've met on the third Monday of each month for 2 hours, from
10am to 12pm in Cradley Village Hall.
The group has grown over the months and often there will be 20 people
working on an amazing range of their own craft projects.
The group has been such a success that from September we'll be meeting
twice each month, on the 1st and 3rd Monday. That will be more flexible for
people who want to attend one, or both, meetings.
Here are a few reasons why you may want to join us.
•
Firstly, its very informal- and its free, so you just need to turn up. Its two
hours of your time to use however you wish. Whatever craft you want to
bring along will be fine (although carrying a sewing machine up the lane
may be a bit challenging!)
•
You may have something that you've started and found the pattern is
confusing or complicated - we'll have someone in the group who may be
able to help, as you both battle with the complications until you both get
it right.
•
There may be a new skill you would like to try - knitting, crochet,
jewellery making, macrame, embroidery, tapestry and many others, we
can help.
•
If you already have crafting skills there may be new ideas or techniques
you can try and then incorporate them into your work. And you can pass
on your skills to others.
So go on, fish out that craft project you started ages ago before and you put
it away meaning to finish it some other time - its probably still in a bag
behind the sofa!
With a concentrated effort for 2 or more hours each month you could have
it finished by this time next year, or even sooner! And not only will you
have a sense of achievement but you will have made new friends, or maybe
reacquainted with old ones.
Here are the dates for the next few months so you can put them in your
diary or phone:
September:4th and 18th October: 2nd and 16th
November: 6th and
20th.
Come along any time between 10am and 12 pm, you'll be very welcome
See you then
