What we’re about
Looking to start crafting but don’t want to do it alone? <br>
This is a group for anyone interested in arts and crafts of all kinds, who are interested in getting together to get crafting. If you have a particular skill you would like to share with a group of creative individuals (or just want to learn a new craft or DIY technique) then come join! <br>
All skill levels welcome, you only need to bring your enthusiasm and imagination — whether you want to learn, brainstorm, or just join in or share your knowledge. I am starting this group to be able to get together in a new, fun atmosphere, exchange artistic ideas, work together, explore art techniques, create DIY projects and see all types of new ideas come to life. Looking forward to meeting you!
