Eastwood & District u3a Creative Craft Group is a group of friendly people, who get together and chat whilst completing crafts projects.
We meet at Rumbletums, Kimberley on the 2nd Wednesday afternoon each month from 1.00 pm – 2.30 pm. The cost is £1.00 per person, which goes towards the room hire. There is parking nearby.
We welcome all abilities. The members work on many different projects, allowing them to learn new skills by watching others. If you want to learn there will be someone there to help you.
Currently members’ projects include embroidery, patchwork, hand sewn projects, crochet, knitting – plus learning to crochet and follow knitting patterns.
We welcome anyone who enjoys making things and having fun. For further details please check the newsletter or contact Margaret Naylor 07828 155 086
Some members went to the Loughborough Town Hall, Sock Exhibition and the Living Threads Exhibition in Long Eaton in March/April. Previously the group has had trips out to local factories – David Nieper, John Smedley and G H Hurt & Son’s, Chilwell – which have given a fascinating insight into the success of textile manufacturing in the local area – see below.
New members are welcome.
Come and join us.
