Craft Sessions

Fostering a love of creativity and imagination, the library offers a range of craft activities each holiday period. Sessions range from free-for-all make it and take it (home), to guided activities to learn a new skill/art or craft.

Learn how to finger knit, do drag painting, big box craft, paper pots and grass heads, just to name a few previous activities.  Check each session for details as some require bookings. Children under 12 will need a parent/guardian present for the activity.
