About
Craft Candy is a non profit organisation which started July 2008. It's main role is to promote craft and craftspeople within Sheffield.
Craft Candy is run completely by volunteers and organised by Sarah and Kati. We have now grown to 30 members. We run a series of monthly craft workshops, organise three contemporary craft fairs a year and also hold special one off events for the public. We are especially proud of our workshops which we try to keep as affordable as possible.
Now that the group is expanding we are able to start offering the first of our free events starting which started with a free workshop in August this year to co-incide with our 1st birthday. We hope to be able to run more events like this in the coming months in order to allow a wider section of the public to have the chance to be creative and get involved.
