We are now close to moving into new premises in Prestatyn. 

The Old Library is to be converted into an Arts, Craft and Heritage Centre. With facilities for local Artists and Craftspeople to display and sell their products. 

We will be also running craft clubs and workshops and will be continuing to participate in local community events, at this location and others in the area.

Interested in joining us? info@artisans-collective.org.uk is our email to let us know. We are also looking for Artisans who are interested in passing on skills, knowledge and experience by holding classes either formal or informal.

A good day at Rhuddlan Artisan Fair.

Another good day was had by all at the Rhuddlan Artisan Fair held at the historic St Marys church on the last day of May.

On a beautifully sunny day it was still cool within the church where some wonderfully varied items were on display and for sale from local artisan producers.

Held generally on the Third Saturday of each month, the event helps raise funds to support the churches upkeep

The Romans Return to Prestatyn on May 17th 2014

The Romans are Returning to #Prestatyn on May 17th 2014.

We are proud to be involved with the Romans return event in #Prestatyn on May the 17th, alongside the town council and other community groups such as Prestatyn living history society.

As part of our involvement we will be providing arts and craft activities giving participants the opportunity to make their own free roman related items.

If you have any spare time on the 17th and would like to get involved in working alongside us to help provide the activities on a voluntary basis it would be great to hear from you.

We will be working inside gazebos on Bastion Road fields from 11am until 4pm. Activity participants would always be with a responsible adult and our DRB checked members will be in attendance at all times.

So even if you can only spare half an hour it would be great to see you
