Weald Crafts (formerly Wealden Craftworkers) is a non-profit making organisation whose main objective is to promote both functional and decorative crafts across Sussex, Kent and Surrey.
Our aim is to provide suitable venues for the sale of members work and encourage, by means of education, the development of traditional skills within the county. It is our intention to highlight the wealth of skills available locally and in doing so, provide the opportunity for members of the public to have access to a wide range of quality products at a reasonable cost.
All members live or work within 30 miles of the venue at which they are selling and are encouraged to use locally sourced materials.
One Good Turn
One of our members, Peter Castle, recently received an unexpected accolade.

Demonstrators and delegates attend from all around the world, for example, this year there were representatives from as far afield as New Zealand, South Africa and a number from The Americas.
