Heart & Craft provides art activities for the over 65s in eight communities across North Yorkshire and is funded by The Postcode Neighbourhood Trust.
Throughout the project, members have the opportunity to explore a range of mediums through our friendly and relaxed activities. In the past we’ve explored drawing, jewellery making, fused glass techniques, ceramics, willow weaving, silk painting, printmaking and much more!

Hear from our Heart & Crafters:
‘H’, an attendee of the Thirsk group, says…
I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the silk painting yesterday. A whole new approach to art – I haven’t done anything as good in a long time! The tutor was excellent, very approachable and kind.
‘V’, venue leader for Borrowby, says…
Thank you again for this morning’s willow workshop – it was super! Everyone enjoyed it immensely and so appreciated the topical focus of stars. Thank you so much for the super organisation of these sessions!
‘T’, a recent attendee at Thirsk group, says…
Everyone was very impressed with my hippo – it has pride of place on my bookshelf! I want to keep my skills up. Thanks again – you’re doing a grand job!
‘Y’, venue leader for Stillington, says…
One member was so effusive about how good it was and the way things had been set out – she even requested a repeat session!
‘S’, a regular attendee at Thirsk and Borrowby, comments on her lockdown craft pack…
My craft pack was great to receive on a rainy day! Been collaging all afternoon and lost track of time – run out of glue! Great idea!
