French Knots Craft Studio

Free Craft Workshop 21st May

On Saturday 21st May I shall be flinging open the Studio door and inviting you to come and craft for charity!

Craft Hope have launched a new Project. Orphan Outreach are travelling to St Petersburg in the summer and want to take handmade bracelets to give to the children they are working with. There are over 1 million children waiting for a home in Russia and looking at my own children I wanted to get involved. Using the Studio is the perfect answer.

I have beads, buttons, ribbon, elastic and fabric and need as many people as possible, adults and children, to get creative so we can send a bit of love from Sale to St Petersburg.

Call in between 11 - 4 on Saturday 21st May, yes that's this Saturday!
