One such group takes place on a Tuesday afternoon at the Geek Retreat in Kettering. The owners of Geek Retreat have been very supportive and accommodating, and Discover Craft has felt very privileged to be able to work with them to provide such positive sessions.

Unfortunately, the Tuesday afternoon group has outgrown the venue. For this reason, Discover Craft has made the decision to move location.

The new location will be in The Cordwainer, Kettering. The Cordwainer has recently reopened under new management and have been very vocal in wishing to become an integral part of the community.

The first session will take place on Tuesday the 2nd of July from 12:30-14:30, with the first craft being paper pinwheels - a bright craft perfect for the summer.

They hope to work with the Geek Retreat again in the future as they have been such brilliant hosts.
