Join us for a winter of straw making to conserve this critically endangered craft! This is arranged in a club format with 3 different skills available to choose from- either knotted, stitched or kishie making. You will be asked to select which technique you wish to learn at checkout when you book your space. Each technique has an experienced tutor, Eve Eunson, Samantha Dennis and Leslie Smith, who will guide you through making your chosen project (selected at the first session).
