Forgotten Crafts

Saturday 9th May

 

Everyone had a truly wonderful day at The Forgotten Crafts, celebrating traditional skills and creativity.


It was a fantastic opportunity to look back on the crafts of the past and experience first-hand the artistry and patience that these timeless traditions require. From spinning and weaving to paper making, French knitting, mat making, and clay modelling, there was something for everyone to enjoy and learn.


A heartfelt thank you to our talented instructors who so generously shared their knowledge and passion:

  • The Spinners & Weavers
  • John Birmingham – Paper Making
  • Shirley Adams-Leach – French Knitting & Mat Making
  • Saphena Berntsen – Clay Modelling


We all thoroughly enjoyed trying our hands at new crafts and learning from such skilled and inspiring experts.


Thank you again to everyone who gave their time, shared their talents, and helped make the day such a memorable and enjoyable experience — it was truly appreciated.
