Space to Craft
Desperate for space to lay out your project and have a couple of hours to work on it? Sometimes the table at home just isn’t big enough for large projects that need a flat surface. Whether it’s layering a quilt, cutting out a garment pattern or planning and drafting your own pattern, we have the answer here at Bugweed’s!
Rent a table for 2, 4 or 6 hours on specific days and make use of our large tables. There are 5 spaces for each day to make sure you get lots of table space.
Please note, there is no tutoring with this session. Our staff will be busy in the shop and although we are always happy to help our community, we will only be able to answer quick questions and make sure you have a cuppa!
