When: On Friday mornings 11:00 am-1:00 pm
2nd and 4th Fridays
Venue: Tesco Community Room, Tesco Extra

This is a group for anyone interested in learning new crafts skills or meeting up to swap ideas. Everyone is welcome.

The group meet twice a month, trying their hand at different skills. Most recently this has featured making flowers from various materials including aluminium cans, tissue paper and card. Over the next few weeks we will be trying our hand at making greeting cards.

Meetings are on the 2nd and 4th Friday from 11am to 1pm and will engage in a different craft each month or so, plus outings to various craft centres once or twice a year. A summer break was discussed, but members were keen to keep creating, so this year the group will keep meeting throughout! The usual venue is Beech Hill Book Cycle, however for Autumn 2026 with this being temporarily closed, the meetings will be held in The Community Room at the Wigan Tesco Extra on Central Park Way (WN1 1XE).

While the group is very popular and has long standing members, occasionally places may become available. If interested please contact Sue and Chris and they will advise if any current vacancies exist.
