About this event

Crafting doesn’t have to cost the earth!

Join us in our Community Craft Room as our talented tutor, Emma, shows you how to reuse, repurpose and recycle a variety of unused and unloved objects into some beautiful home decor items.

Whether you're a complete novice or a seasoned crafter, you're welcome to join us in class to learn and develop your skills.

You’ll try something new each week but in each session you'll -

1. Learn how to make the most of your materials (and money) by turning items that would otherwise be thrown away into something beautiful for your home.
2. Learn about the different tools used in crafting - and how to use them creatively (and safely!)
3. Have the opportunity to ask lots of questions, share your own crafts and chat with like-minded crafters.

Please note: You'll need to be enrolled on our Keeping It Together (KIT) Project, 16+ and resident in Greater Manchester in order to access this class/course for free.
