Welcome to the Heritage Skills Centre Programme for June to December 2016! There are a huge range of courses to choose from across our craft, conservation and building programme and don't miss, NEW this year, our drop-in courses that give you a chance to try a wide range of our crafts before deciding which course you want to book on.
Did you know that we have a shop offering craft kits and items from the tutors we work with? Many of these are exclusive to the Centre and all are hand crafted and make excellent gifts or projects to start off a passion for crafting. We also stock a select range of books relevant to HSC courses. Pop in and see what we’ve got available.
