Chatty Crafts - a chance to be creative, chat and be part of the community.
“[My favourite part is] arriving. And then it feels like relief, it’s like a big hug”
Join artist Sam Edwards for Chatty Craft, a craft drop-in for adults. A lovely chance to be creative, chat and be part of the community. Every other week at Beswick Library. We also go on free trips to the theatre and crafting day-trips – next up the Whitworth Gallery!

“The things you take away you don’t just chuck them in the bin … you take them home or gift them … it’s good quality.”
Chatty Craft’s Exhibition
This October Chatty Craft created an Exhibition on the theme EXTREME HOPE, displayed at the Museum of Science and Industry. Alongside lanterns of hope, they made a banner which reads: HANDS HOLDING HOPE AROUND A BIG BEAUTIFUL WORLD
Meg explains: “It takes a lot of people to hold people up. And I think if everyone kind of believes in hope, there’s more chance of good stuff happening in the world. Hope happening is, a radical thing.”
Chatty Craft is a Local Exchange project, created by Royal Exchange Ambassadors for Beswick, Openshaw & Clayton.
