Retro Wrens - March 13

Our first ever meeting took place on March 5 at Spout Coffee Shop.  The group set up by Lianne Burton, Libbi Kirkby and Maxine Chamberlain is aimed at women of all ages and is a chance for like minded women  to meet once a month and learn something new such as a craft, cocktail making and even burlesque!

The first session was lead by Holly Nancarrow of Handmade by Holly Crow.  She lead the group by showing them how to make a simple fabric brooch.  The group then had a chance to make their own brooch from a choice of fabric supplied by Spout.

We can safely say the first session was a huge success as 17 women of all ages turned up ready to get creative.  One person described it as  'A great way to get to know other women in the area who are interested in crafts and natter over coffee and cake.

The next meeting is April 2nd at Spout Coffee Shop, 70 St Edwards Street.  Entrance is £5 and includes a hot drink, cake and activity.
