Coffee, Cake and Craft with Carol Moyes and others

This can be either a one day or a monthly gathering designed to bring together people who enjoy making, creating and sharing craft ideas in a relaxed and sociable environment. Each meeting will begin with a short demonstration of a craft technique followed by a ‘show and tell’ which gives you an opportunity of showing us what you have made, are making but have a problem with or simply sit and watch what everyone else likes to do with crafting.

Perhaps you would like to demonstrate something in the future and this opportunity is available. This is simply the first of monthly meetings on the second Friday of each month for crafters and those simply being in the company of crafters to get together and enjoy a Friday afternoon.

Example Demonstration Crafts

Possible demonstrations could include a wide variety of traditional and contemporary crafts, such as:

• Spun cotton decorations

. Embroidery

. Quilting

. Japanese brush calligraphy

. Pen calligraphy

• Metal embossing

• Acid etching on glass and slate

• Sashiko stitching

• Book folding art

• French beading

• Kumihimo braiding

• Traditional leather stitching techniques

• Needle felting

• Tamari ball embroidery

These demonstrations would provide inspiration and introduce participants to new techniques and materials.
