Seil Crafting Group

If you’d like to craft in company with neighbours and a cuppa, come along to the Seil crafting group. We meet every other Tuesday evening in the Small Hall, all year around. Bring your own project, whatever it might be – we’ve had mending, embroidery, cross-stitch, needle-felting, sewing, crochet, sketching, weaving, hat-making, knitting, calligraphy, model-making, painting and more. Bring your own project, though occasionally people offer a workshop or chance to learn something new. Small donation invited to cover the rent and heating. Find us on Facebook or contact Annie Lawson on for more details or to join the WhatApp group.
