North West Training Centre Arts & Craft Group

We are a Group interested in creative arts and crafts. We have come together as a result of art and craft workshops run by North West Training Centre situated in Kinlochbervie, North West Sutherland. This is a remote and isolated corner of Scotland and we are delighted to receive funding from Make a Splash to develop our Arts & Craft Group so that we can have expert arts & craft tuition on a regular basis and continue to develop our creative skills.
