The next Free workshop is on Mon 18th April at Park Community Centre, Chelmsford St, Weymouth. 3.15 - 5.15pm, All are welcome to come along and see what we're doing and/or join in the fun of creating.

The first weeks of 'LET'S MAKE IT' have been a huge success with many groups & individuals making great efforts and already completing items such as Punch & Judy, Rats, Flowers & more for the carnival float.
Thanks to all participants, the first set of workshops at Southill Day Centre, Fairways Court and Swannery Court have been great fun, we've been sharing ideas, rediscovering long lost skills and learning new ones. By knitting, French knitting, crocheting, building, cutting, glueing and much more, we have seen the birth of many new items to come. E.g. Jubilee Clock, Fossils, grass, sand,
Lighthouse, Sea, Shells and Rocks.
We are looking for more people of all ages to get involved and explore ideas and help make other items for the float or costumes to wear in the procession, e.g.mermaids.
Come on folks:' LET'S MAKE IT'
