Our group has been meeting at LCA since about 1968, when it was started by Kathleen Powell who attended a course at Bournemouth College of Art, and passed on what she has learned each week to members of the group. We now meet twice monthly ( expect August) on Tuesdays 2-4pm. An excellent range of equipment ensures we are able to make good progress with both repairs, and making new items from scratch, with,  eventually, great satisfaction. We admit to occasional help—we all help each other and share our skills. Contact Mary Herbert c/o Lymington Community Centre.
