Children's Craft Clubs and Teenage Art Workshops:
Throughout 2013 the Macclesfield Silk Museums will be running a selection of Children's craft clubs and teenage art workshops. Each craft club and workshop is themed around a particular idea, our first craft clubs of 2013 were in February and were themed around 'Recycling'. Children used recycled materials to create new projects. In the Teenage Art Workshops students made bags and belts from recycled material.
