We are a sociable group and chat as we craft. No experience needed, just a willingness to pool resources, share knowledge and skills and join in the fun of having a go at a different craft each month; some we like, others don't work out and we don't repeat but that's the joy of crafting!
Spring 2026 has seen us busy with a range of crafts including experimenting with types of paper clay (no firing needed), constructing hexagon bags (challenging!), rag wreaths, scrap quilting, iris folding with ribbons and stitching on leaves; there is always more we can find to do!
October 2025:
Members were kept busy trying needlelace and sashiko (Japanese stitching) in addition to more wreath tying, knitting Christmas hats and making Dorset buttons.
During 2025 craft group members gave their time and creativity making a variety of items to donate to a local care provider for the comfort of its residents. These included personalised cushions, knee blankets, paper flowers, storage bags to attach to walkers and small purses. These were most gratefully received when handed over to care staff in October to be shared amongst the residents.
September 2025: in celebration of Autumn we decorated wire wreaths with autumn flowers and seeds.
July 2025: In preparation for our u3a Gosport 30th anniversary picnic to be held in August, we made paper flowers to decorate the tables.
Group Project 2024: Members made individual pennants based on the theme of nature to create bunting to be used at u3a events
