Our Story
We have a team of skilled, experienced, adaptable practitioners who provide accessible, hands-on craft and rural skills activities.
Our motivation is in Community-building and our key is Reciprocity: everyone needs to feel they have something to offer in order to truly engage. Our Workshops revolve around skill sharing, exchanging ideas and support between everyone: teachers, learners and our host organisations or venues alike. This is how a thriving community functions.
Where we can everything is made available at no cost to our participants and therefore open to all. We work with the often vulnerable in our society: those with disabilities, people with mental health problems, the lonely and isolated, boosting well-being and promoting positive interaction, as well as environmental understanding through recycling skills and traditional crafts. Everyone deserves a voice and has something to contribute.
