Art & craft groups
The Little Craft & Art Studio
Every Wednesday, 6pm - 8pm, at The Balsam Centre
Run by Lu Jones, this is two hours of fun crafting and warm conversation. We have a different activity for each session but if you have a particular skill you would like to share, please do let Lu know. Past classes have included card making, needle felting, decoupage and wreath making.
​
The idea is to get out the house, try different things, meet people and have some fun!
​
Suggested donation: £5 per session including materials and refreshments. Please book in advance by emailing Lu.
Soft Furnishings Class
Every Thursday, 10am - 12pm, at The Balsam Centre
This is a soft furnishing class - cushions, curtains and blinds. Beginners are very welcome; Julie, an experienced textiles teacher, will guide you through to making your first piece. Bring your own sewing machine if you have one.
​
Cost: £5 per session. This class is currently fully booked but you can join the waiting list by emailing info@balsamcentre.org.uk or calling 01963 31842.
Let's Yarn Together
Every Friday, 1pm - 3pm, at The Balsam Centre
Come along to our new weekly craft group and enjoy a relaxed space to chat, create and connect. Whether you love knitting, crochet, or any other woolly craft, bring your project - or just your curiosity! There’ll be opportunities to swap or sell wool, share patterns and ideas, or simply enjoy a friendly natter over a cuppa while you work. All skill levels are welcome, from absolute beginners to seasoned makers.
​
Suggested donation: £2 per session to cover room hire, tea and coffee.
