If you plan to attend a meeting, please let Tamsin know two weeks in advance so that materials can be organised. Ideas about what you would like to make are welcome.
If you are a beginner and want to discuss getting involved, please email the group coordinator (contact details below), who will be happy to help. However, as the group works without a formal tutor, with members sharing skills and experience, you would gain more from the sessions by attending a beginners' course.
A limited number of tools (secateurs, rapping irons, bodkins & craft knives) will be available, but please bring your own, along with a spray bottle, if you have them.
If you have any questions about anything, don't hesitate to get in touch with Tamsin.
