What our crafters say
Attending the craft social group for the first time was such a lovely experience. I was a little nervous walking in, but everyone was so welcoming and friendly that I quickly felt at ease. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making it easy to settle in and enjoy the session.
It was great to see such a mix of creativity and to be around people who genuinely enjoy sharing ideas and helping one another. Even as a first-timer, I felt included and encouraged, which made a big difference.
I’m really glad I took the step to come along and would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about giving it a try—especially if you’re new and unsure. You’ll feel right at home.
Carly M.What an amazing atmosphere! 2h of crafty fun, snacks and incredible company. Everyone is super welcoming and even if you feel insecure about your skills, no need to worry. Bolly will make sure you feel comfortable.
Big plus if you’re an animal lover, because the two fur babies are absolutely adorable!
IlonaI had such a lovely evening at the Bring Your Own Project social! It was such a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, and everyone was really friendly. There was a great mix of crafts going on, from painting and diamond art to embroidery, but the best thing is that you can bring whatever project you enjoy.
The music was a lovely touch too, a nice background playlist that made the evening feel cosy without being too loud or overpowering. There were also some really lovely homemade baked goods and drinks provided, which was such a nice extra and made the whole evening feel even more welcoming.
The host was incredibly welcoming and personable, which made it really easy to settle in and feel comfortable. It was such a nice way to spend an evening, especially if you enjoy crafting but also want a bit of company while you do it.
I’ll definitely be going again and would absolutely recommend it!
JadeEveryone I’ve met at the craft socials has been really friendly and easy to talk to. Bolly creates a homely and welcoming atmosphere; conversation flows and it’s fun to see what other people are working on and chat about each others’ hobbies. I’m really pleased I found this group and would encourage anyone with a creative hobby to give it a go.
