Ingatestone Garden Centre has teamed up with The Guild of Essex Craftsmen to arrange a programme of craft events in one of their Conservatories.
Workshops, displays, demonstrations and lessons in a wide range of craft skills are on offer in cosy surroundings close to the centre's cafe where tea, coffee and lunches are available.
Guild chairman Celia Reed said: "If the signs say open, then please just pop in and see what is going on." She was thrilled when the Guild was approached to work on a joint project with the Ingatestone Garden Centre. " It not only promotes genuine craft but encourages members of the public to come and look at how things are made, or join in and to have a go," she said. "Trying a taster day at a craft you have been interested in could lead to a new hobby."
