Do you love to create cards or partial to a bit of scrapbooking?
Why not bring your project along or work on something new at our papercraft club!

We have been very fortunate to have supplies and tools donated or sold cheaply to the cafe so we can offer a social club for those who can’t afford to buy things to craft with and also to try to encourage a social environment where we are all equal.
We wish to encourage you to use the materials we have to offer but only take what you create.
Jen or Sue will be in the workshop to help with machinery, techniques or ideas you would love to try.
Tea and coffee included
