GOOD COMPANY CRAFTING

Welcome to GCC!

Welcome to Good Company Crafting (GCC), where we bring together a vibrant community of craft enthusiasts. From the art of scrapbooking and cardmaking to the intricacies of needle arts and painting, our events cater to a wide range of crafting passions. Whether you're an experienced creator or just starting out, we have something for everyone.

From September through to June, we curate an exciting calendar of in-person crafting events that allow you to indulge in your favorite hobbies. Additionally, we also offer virtual crafting experiences throughout the year, bringing the joy of crafting directly to your screen.

At GCC, we cherish the power of connection and friendship. Our gatherings are not only about crafting but also about building lasting bonds with like-minded individuals. Join us, and embrace the opportunity to meet both old and new friends as we share our love for all things craft-related.

We extend a warm invitation to you to be part of our upcoming events. Whether you're seeking inspiration, looking to enhance your skills, or simply want to enjoy the company of fellow crafters, GCC is the perfect place to indulge your creative spirit. We can't wait to have you join us!

We are a group of friends who love crafting and getting together in a relaxed social atmosphere.

Many of us are scrapbookers and cardmakers - but we also do all sorts of other crafting. While most of us have craft rooms at home, we really enjoy the social interaction and fun of getting together with friends for day-long events and weekend retreats.
