The Urban Craft Club began in October 2009. It offers an opportunity to people (over 19) with some or no skill to learn new techniques in a relaxing, collaborative and informal environment. 

It aims to reach people from a range of backgrounds and experiences, running outreach sessions to community groups and centres as a means to reach people who may not otherwise have considered crafts.

In Autumn sessions will re-start on Thursday 7th October. For further information please visit - Urban Craft Club page.
