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”

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.
