Crafting Live

Crafting Live, formerly Summer Crafting and Winter Crafting
www.craftinglive.co.uk

We are thrilled to be able to confirm that not only have we rebranded our annual crafting events, but we have introduced even more to 2016, with the addition of some brand new locations. Crafting Live, formerly Summer and Winter Crafting, will now take to the seas and visit our fellow Irish crafters. We are so excited to be packing up our crafting goodies and making our way over to Ireland to host

a brand new event, Crafting live Belfast. And what’s more, we’ve added an additional day, giving you plenty of time to shop, craft, socialise and more. As always, we will kick off our event with a day-long workshop with Stephanie Weightman, Nancy Watt and their crafty companions on Wednesday 27 April. You will then see exhibitors, free make and take sessions, live broadcasting from Create and Craft and so much more starting on Thursday 28 April until Saturday 30 April. For further information on some of the show’s exciting features, please visit www.craftinglive.co.uk.
