A member of our u3a has made a proposal to form a Craft Group. Jenny envisages that it will be a group of like-minded crafty people working on their own projects and sharing skills and ideas. It will not be a class but shared knowledge to help and encourage everyone in the group. The group will be open to everyone regardless of their experience.
If it is appropriate there could be small groups working on specific projects, something new or sharing a specific skill.
Jenny’s experience in crafts includes the following:
- Patchwork Quilting
- Dolls House Miniatures i.e. making 6” ceramic dolls, clothing and furniture
- Rag Dolls
- Knitting and Crochet Embroidery (attempting stump-work at the moment)
- Cross Stitch
- Dressmaking
- Clay work
I’ve found from past experience that the participation in the formation of a new group creates a strong friendship bond between the members, so I encourage anyone interested in attending and joining a discussion with Jenny as to how the group could work to email
her (Jenny Newman), or phone her on 07743 412271 and she will attempt to find an initial date and place to meet you all (when replying could you please indicate days, morning, afternoon or evening, that you could attend).
