NEW Craft Café shop and gallery

Craft Cafe has launched its own shop and gallery space situated right by the workshop on Oswald Road (between St Raphael’s and Marian House). A beautiful array and selection of work are on display and for sale including digitally printed textiles, jewellery, framed and mounted paintings. For a limited time we are offering a special promotion. Please bring along the voucher included here to cash in your 20% discount.

Coming up…
Come along to The Craft Café Gallery space on 27th April for the opening of ‘Metamorphosis’, an exhibition by artist Lesley Redfern, whose mother is a resident of Marian House. This body of work is an approach to understanding the development of dementia through the metaphor of natural forms. The show is part of Lesley’s final submission for her degree in photography with the Open College of the Arts. There will be film screenings of Lesley’s film works in the workshop space from Thursday 27th April to Monday 1st May 2017. Work in the gallery space will be on show until it is sent off for final examination. We hope to see you there!
