Many traditional skills and crafts of the past have been forgotten, but many are also seeing renewed interest. We want to help ensure the survival of local arts and craft skills – new and old – as well as spreading the joy of learning new skills, creating things and expressing yourself through art.
Ideas for courses include rural and alpaca related crafts such as spinning wool/fleece, weaving and basketry; and will also feature other hobbies such as scrap-booking, painting and photography.
We would like to hear from you if you would like to pass on your craft skills or have a particular interest you would like us to host a course on.
In the summer we plan to have open days where people can visit stalls run by various local crafts people, seeing crafts in action and buying crafts & artwork.
