A Very Busy St Davids day in The Old Library Art Craft And Heritage Centre in Prestatyn

What a day we had with three separate events held during the course of the day, the first being our weekly Children's art and craft workshop with Jayne of Sutton Soap. The children had already been doing lots of St David's day related activities at school in the preceding week so we did something totally different and made Native American totem poles and headdresses.

We then had an arts n crafts Birthday party for a nine year old young lady which was facilitated by another of our artisan members Fiona of Blue Garlic Creates. 

During the course of the afternoon we also had drop in sessions for St David's day related activities, where children made daffodil windmills.

Cathy from Cathy Wood Psychology  kindly gave up her valuable time to demonstrate the heritage craft of wool spinning.

"Small Business Saturday UK is a grassroots, non-political, non-commercial campaign, which highlights small business success and encourages consumers to ‘shop local’ and support small businesses in their communities. 

The day itself takes place on the first shopping Saturday in December each year, but the campaign aims to have a lasting impact on small businesses. In 2014 Small Business Saturday UK will take place on Saturday December 6th."

Mid September Updates

Pete has been working on the website artisans-collective.org.uk as we have noticed that the number of visitors using mobile or handheld technology is now great than traditional PC or laptop users.

The site has been simplified and almost stripped back to ensure it loads quickly on devices with less memory needed particularly when on slower public connections.
