Our Expertise
Guided by Crafters, For Crafters
Our team brings over 70+ years of combined crafting experience to every interaction. We're not just a shop — we're crafters ourselves, and we genuinely love helping you get great results.
Our expert teachers run classes, clubs, and live Craftywafty-A-Long sessions where they walk you through every technique, from the basics through to advanced projects. You'll learn how to create archival-quality, personalised keepsakes and gifts that stand the test of time — and that the people who receive them will treasure forever.
We host monthly craft club events and classes in Essex, as well as pop-up shops at local craft events. And if you can't join us in person, our YouTube tutorials and downloadable project guides bring the classroom to you — wherever you are. Our event attendees are known as the "Craftywafties", come along to one of our events: Craftywafty Events

Crafting Community
We are a community, we started as friends at a craft club, now we have much larger community. We started Craftywafty to support clubs just like ours with the quality of materials we needed, and the value of buying from wholesalers; we operate sustainably, so can continue to support our community and to support the environment. But most of all, we support each other in the community, share our makes, our successes and sometimes failures, because that's OK too, and from failure comes learning, help and success. So if this sounds good to you, come and join us.
