Kiri Cottage Crafts Club Rename
We have now become an ‘unincorporated constituted group’, and renamed ourselves ‘The Makers’ Moot’. The main aim of our group is to help retain, share and promote local heritage, and other crafts by increasing our skills and knowledge as a group. By becoming a group such as this, we can apply for relevant grants so that we can learn more crafting skills.
The Makers’ Moot
We have now renamed our club ‘The Makers’ Moot’, and are setting it up as an unincorporated constituted group and hope to be able to apply for grants, once our bank account has been finalised, so that we can access craft courses and learn new skills.

Kiri Cottage Craft Club 27th August 2024
We made fairy bell charms at Craft Club this morning. I love seeing all the different ideas coming from one group!
This is a lovely workshop to run. Everyone can use their imagination about colours, fabrics, and charms, bells and beads and we definitely always have great craic!

Celtic Kraut with Kiri Cottage Craft Club
We had a change of pace for Kiri Cottage Crafts club this afternoon. Sharon invited us over to her premises for a pilot of her ‘Celtic Kraut’ fermentation workshop, and to hear about the land and sea connection with the Irish goddess Cliodhna.
Dorset Buttons with Kiri Cottage Craft Club
Kiri Cottage Crafts Club was hosted by Jen today at her premises. We made Dorset Buttons from rings, wool and threads.
We used several different sizes of rings and our club members enjoyed coffee and cakes as well as producing varied colours and designs of buttons.
Kiri Cottage Crafts Club Workshop with Sharon Regan
Sharon Regan came along to Kiri Cottage Craft club this morning to run a seashell and resin workshop. It was very enjoyable, and a bit challenging to those like myself who had not painted anything since school!
