Making Space Wells
After the success of the Sew Buntiful Wells project and the craft courses run by Project Factory CIC in 2019, some of those involved took the initiative to form a new craft collective where we can all share our skills, learn new ones and take part in collaborative community craft events.
Now, craft meetings run on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, one between 10am and 12pm at St Thomas' Church Hall and the other between 7pm and 9pm at the Elim Connect Centre.
All of the meetings are very friendly and members familiar and new are welcomed
every week.
There's generally a theme but everyone can also do their own thing and bring a project they've been working on at home.
Making Space Wells feel what's important is there being an opportunity
for people to gather together, make connections and enjoy crafting, chat and a cuppa!
Although they've not been going for long meetings have already featured knitting, crochet, making felt pictures, making
natural wreaths, chalk painting, willow work, bunting, mindful art, sushiko embroidery, boro, weaving, maintaining your sewing machine, macrame... and more!
Making Space Wells is a not for profit collective and want meetings to be as inclusive as possible so they try to keep costs to a minimum. Donations towards room hire and refreshments are cheerfully received but if money is tight they'd rather that didn’t out anyone off coming along - loving crafts is far more important!
Claire Axten, one of the organisers said "It is wonderful to meet people, and to witness their delight once they have made something, using a new skill. Another positive aspect is having time to listen, to laugh, to comfort. We are all learning together and it is great!"
‘We believe craft skills and knowledge enrich and uplift us as individuals and can change our world for the better’
That’s what The Crafts Council UK says - and the team at MSW completely agree.
So if you love crafts....or think you might love crafts...pop along and join them.
