Having started in Saltaire, The Craft House is now run from new, larger, premises at 109-111 Main Street, Bingley.

We cater for a range of skill levels, from first-time participants to people with existing skills (including other professional artists and makers looking to develop their techniques). Our emphasis is on encouraging creativity and enjoyment whilst passing on key skills. We also cater for private parties and events - please telephone us or call into the cafe to discuss.
