           Hi everyone!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           My name is Lesley, and I am the artisan, tutor, and creative heart behind

           Clwb Helyg — Willow Club
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           .
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           For years, I have been teaching traditional heritage crafts in person, welcoming wonderful makers to my studio table to share the joy of creating something beautiful with their own two hands. But lately, I’ve been thinking: how can I bring that cosy, relaxing studio bench experience directly to your kitchen table, no matter where you live?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           That is how Clwb Helyg was born.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           &amp;#55356;&amp;#57151;
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           What is Clwb Helyg?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Clwb Helyg is a mindful monthly craft sanctuary delivered straight to your door. Every single month, I curate a luxury kit packed with premium materials, specialised tools, and fully illustrated, step-by-step instructions to guide you through a beautiful new craft from scratch.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           We focus on natural, coastal, and heritage textures. One month we might be knotting a bohemian macramé wall hanging, the next we might be diving into the magical, stitch-free art of traditional Japanese Kinusaiga fabric patchwork, or sculpting clay flower frogs.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           But it’s not just a box of supplies. When you join the club, you also get access to our private, friendly Facebook community and an invitation to join me live for a cosy evening or afternoon workshop on Zoom! We put the kettle on, log on together, and craft, chat, and learn as a community.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           To celebrate our official launch and welcome you to our new blog, I want to give you a little piece of the studio to try right now.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           I have spent time at the bench designing an exclusive, beginner-friendly 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           . If you have a scrap bag full of beautiful fabric remnants sitting at home, this printable line-art template is the perfect excuse to clear your kitchen table and try this beautiful craft completely free!
