We do a variety of crafts but with a heavy emphasis on papercrafts. The group is for anyone interested in crafting no matter their ability. Each month the group leader demonstrates a particular technique or how to use new materials most of which she provides. Some members of the group are happy to share their own skills and will lead the group for a session. A basic kit containing scissors, glue, tape and a work mat are required but members are happy to share with one another.

In session 24-25 we made a faux shutter card, heat embossed a stamped image and made a frame for it, a Christmas card using iris folding, tree decorations, a pillow box, a birthday card using die cut layers, a money envelope and gift bags, an Easter card and decorated a tea light holder. Finally in June we did cutting, scoring, stamping and foiling using a variety of different tools.
