Drop-in Social Crafting and Spinning Group

Open Crafting Sessions for Adults

Free, no booking necessary, but please keep an eye on our socials for info on closed dates.

Tuesday open session & spinning wheel group: 6-8pm


The open sessions are for members of our community who would like to bring along a crafting project to work on, share a laugh & a cuppa and generally soak up the creative vibe here At Birkhill House. We encourage attendees to breathe life back into neglected projects or take the plunge and start something new.



The Tuesday evening sessions will also be open to fibre spinners, keen to gather and get some spinning done together in the company of other spinners. We have eight wheels here (three Ashfords, a Kromski, a Louet, a double treadle, a Hebridean and an old flax upright), which are all available for use - or feel free to bring your own. We also have a lot of different sheep fleeces here in our growing fleece library, as well as our own alpaca. These are competitively priced and we sell them alongside prepared rovings, some of which have been acid-dyed and some of which have been dyed with homegrown materials from our natural dye garden.

* Please note: the spinning sessions are not teacher-led; they are for experienced spinners looking for company whilst they spin.
