What members say...

  • Inspiring action

    "I just wanted to share my good news which the group has played a huge part. In the past month I have started running creative textile workshops at a local community centre, and doing talks on wool processing and vintage knitting to local craft and community groups. Finally today I had my first stall at a local Rag Market selling some of my creative works and craft materials I no longer need. There was a time that I thought my ill health would prevent me from doing these things again. But being part of a group that is so inspiring has really helped. So Thank You for setting up the group and sharing your skills with us all." Angela Ansell

  • Impossible things seem possible

    "My sewing class took a whole new direction... we applied for a creative communities grant, to start a community drop in class for people wanting to learn to sew. We are making up packs with simple items, bags, slippers.. that teach basic skills and are made from recycled clothes. These packs will be achievable in one session, and each will show the a different skill, straight sewing, pattern reading, zips, buttonholes. We are hoping to get a donated sewing machine too. Because of this piece of fabric, I looked at many impossible things that somehow seemed possible.. thank you." Xxxx Sandie Fletcher, speaking about the fabric from the uccc

  • Creativity and conscience

    "You are a beacon of rationality in a dark world of over consumerism and irresponsibility. You have taught many how to think beyond the box, releasing waves of creativity and conscience." Terry Belmore Keck
