This is the first posting for a group that has successfully been in existence since 1997. The membership has grown and changed through the years  reflecting a dynamic and lively group. The skills and crafts on offer have also changed and expanded through the years, varying from jewellery, wood-turning, quilting, weaving  spinning, ceramics, pottery, bead-work to name but a few!
