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!

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.
