STEAM Club

Come and join this friendly group for a cup of tea/coffee and a chat while you craft. 

Currently we can offer the use of a sewing machine, needle felting, knitting, crotchet and drawing/mindful colouring but we are happy to discuss other crafts. Please feel free to bring your own projects and materials to work on.

Craft and chat
