About Craft Forward

So well organised and such a welcoming, inclusive space! I love how patient the organisers are and how many different people were at the workshop, it made me feel a lot more connected to the community and with people with similar creative interests. I learnt so much and I can’t wait to come back and learn some more!

I had a lovely time and feel so positive afterwards. I have absolutely loved being part of craft forward so far, it has given me a space to find other crafty people and is the highlight of my week when I attend. Thank you for building something so beautiful and community focused.

I’ve had the best day I’ve had in ages. Such an amazing time. Everyone was so supportive and I feel more empowered as a person as I managed to learn something I’ve never done before. Thank you!
