It has been a very busy year for the Crafts and Company collective which has been involved in a range of charity fund-raising events while also promoting and enjoying creative crafting on Arran.
Once a month it has offered its popular monthly craft club featuring a different craft every month. Together members have made bags, flower arrangements, dream-catchers, felt animals, jewellery and much more besides. Members have also organised a monthly crafts fayre in Whiting Bay village hall with more than 20 stallholders all selling their handmade products.
Crafts and Company has worked with a number of charities on inventive and rewarding campaigns. Just as last year ended, two members of the collective were busy sewing small pouches to give to members of the Music Matters group so they might keep their MP3 players and leads safe. The members use these devices to listen to their music at home. The craft collective were delighted to be asked to help.
