About us
We are a voluntary community art group, based in Crofton near Wakefield, West Yorkshire. We meet on Friday afternoons 1-4pm in a local community centre. We pride ourselves on being a friendly, very supportive amateur art group. We have a mix of beginners to art and more experienced artists. Please see our Programme page for more details of our events.
