Making can have a positive impact on our lives. It can create space to socialise, and allow for the learning of new skills and sharing of ideas. Craft has always been treasured within the WI. The making of a crafted artefact tells and records stories, it can protect our heritage, pass on traditional skills and embrace new and exciting approaches.
Craft brings together communities, generations and cultures. Put craft together with a coffee, slice of cake and a good laugh. It can also be the perfect medium to discuss issues that affect women. Difficult subjects are always easier to talk about when making. So no matter if you are a beginner or a more experienced maker craft can change lives.
MWI has a strong craft tradition, and were known as the ‘Crafty Ladies’. Amongst us we have quilt makers, lace makers, glass makers, and knitters. We ask that any of our members who would like to showcase their work, contact the committee so that we can arrange for photographs and an interview for this page.
