BOOK ONLINE TALKS & WORKSHOPS...
'Thanks for bringing your events available to a wider audience. It was wonderful and a great opportunity.' - Linda Levendusky
Enjoy our 'Crafty Chats' : Free Monthly Online Events for C&TA Members
A chance to chat with other members across the world and talk textiles: exhibition and book reviews, quizzes, demos. Share ideas and skills: quilters, knitters, embroiders, textile artists, all are welcome. Whatever textiles turn you on bring along some of your own work, swap ideas, techniques and news. But there's no need to be a maker, just share a passion for fashion and textiles from period dress and vintage to catwalk couture.
OUR NEXT CRAFTY CHAT MEETINGS WILL BE HELD AT 2PM GMT ON 12th November and 10th December 2024. (No need to book: Members will be emailed a link prior to each event)
