This group offers the opportunity to learn a number of new skills either from an outside teacher or a U3a member. The cost will depend on the craft being taught.

Full instructions will be given so you can make pretty roses, hearts and delicate laces to name just a few, all out of dots and acrylic paint..
4th June – Felting – 1.30pm-5.30pm

14th April 2026 – Resin Flowers – Daffodils & Tulips – 10am-12 Noon
Resin is a durable and strong medium, leaving a high gloss, protective finish that allows for a variety of desired affects you can create for your art piece. Firstly, you will make the shapes out of wire and once happy these will be dipped in resin. They will all be linked together with wire so you can make the flowers.
