Fabrication Crafts Ltd is a social enterprise which aims to provide an environment where people of all levels and abilities can come together to work to develop craft skills for several purposes:
1. To act as a medium for craft skills to be taught and learned through classes and to assist craft practitioners to have a means to find these teaching opportunities.
2. To provide craft skills to those from disadvantaged backgrounds to help them improve their economic and social welfare.
3. To provide a communal and affordable workspace for working and sharing knowledge.
4. A catalyst to help, assist and develop micro craft businesses, focusing on hand crafted items.
We have been running classes in leeds since 2008, and our tutors work in a professional capacity in the subjects they teach
