With October Craft Month well under way, perhaps you’re feeling inspired to have a go at learning a new craft yourself? Make the most of your visit by booking onto one of our workshops running alongside the festival. Nurture your creativity as you learn a new skill, from raku pottery to paper cutting and batik, modern calligraphy and lino printing, or making a drum lampshade.
