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! 

The group has attracted not only a local dedicated group of followers and regular customers but a far wider audience. Many travel specially to attend the first day to ensure the best choice of unique items on exhibition and for sale. 

Below are a couple of photographs from last years exhibition at the Shipwreck in April 2012
