Rickshaw art

Peg-loom weaving

Learn how to use a peg loom and weave a sample of fabric using shimmering yarns guided by the creative and colourful Purple Claire Textiles. 


Bollywood brooches

A long, long time ago (when craft wasn't that cool) our founder Momtaz Begum-Hossain wrote a booked called Bollywood Crafts about her two big passions: craft and Bollywood. This month she's running a workshop which takes inspiration from her book - sew yourself a Bollywood brooch. You can also buy signed copies of her book for £5 which are now limited edition.

Jewellery designer Louise Reed will be running her popular braidmaking session which this time features some shimmering yarns. Learn a new skill by mastering this traditional technique.
