Library

The group was started in 1986 with the aim of learning and putting to use a variety of handicrafts by interested people. Several talented craftswomen demonstrate and oversee the practice of their particular skill.

In the Library you will see a large wall-mounted fabric collage made by the group in 1991; it depicts the buildings, trades and activities in Deddington through the ages (see image below). To see the legend click here.

 

Our aims are to use time-honoured techniques in a creative way, to share knowledge and imagination and to use our individual talents to produce a variety of interesting versions from the same original instruction but with unique interpretation.

We occasionally arrange an outside visit to extend our understanding of craft work, such as to the American Museum to see early American quilts; stumpwork at Sulgrave Manor to gain knowledge of the equipment and materials available for craft work; to Rainbow Silks at Great Missenden and the Bramble Patch at Weedon.

We welcome anyone who would like to learn or teach creative crafts. We meet every Tuesday afternoon 2-4.30pm at the Holly Tree.
