As an employee of New Brewery Arts, part of a small team running a busy office, the chance to participate in one of our fantastic workshops doesn’t come up very often. But, with a goal of finally being ready for Christmas well in advance, instead of just skidding into Christmas Eve,

Each year on Armistice Day, the 11th November at 11am, we remember and honour those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom by holding a two minute silence. 

Crafted for Christmas is our annual festive exhibition that takes over our shop and gallery and even our onsite makers’ studios. Crafted for Christmas offers visitors the chance to acquire something truly unique and special, either as gift or for the home; it’s a visual feast for the eyes.

Our course and workshop programme continues to thrive and develop as people look to crafts to unwind, but this August was the first time we had organised a group of workshops which really allowed the participants to develop their skills over 2 or 3 days.
