Meetings and Workshops

We meet on the second Saturday of the month in the Darby and Joan Hall, Cottingham. Each meeting features a talk by a guest speaker, and a stage display of the amazing work created by our members.

Throughout the year, we also also run workshops hosted by our guest speakers, and Dabble Days where you can try out various techniques.
