The Company of Crafters
The Company of Crafters is a local evening started to give you some dedicated craft time, with the company of other creative individuals and a tasty beverage in a lovely environment.
If you've bought a kit and aren't sure how to get started, had a stubborn knit you've been procrastinating, or just want a bit of company whilst you make - this is for you.
Each evening will have a theme and some specific projects and kits for purchase that will be closely guided through - but this really is your time. It's free to attend and you can bring anything you like to work on (provided it won't take up the whole space!). If you are in need of a project, see below for some fab ideas - everything is available to buy now and can be brought to you in the venue on the day.
Our first location is Deptford does Art (@DeptforddoesArt) - it' s lovely cafe/bar/gallery space on Deptford High Street which has a fab selection of cocktails and lots of space for crafting. RSVP on Eventbrite (click the pictures below to link through) to avoid disappointment.
