Handicraft Committee

SACWA is all about learning new skills while having fun along the way.  Members of the Handicraft Committee are all committed “crafty ladies”, who enjoy passing on their talents to members, friends and family.  They work proactively, providing tutelage around the State, and raising funds towards the running of the Association. 

The SACWA Handicraft School is held each year in order for Handicraft Officers to learn three new crafts and take these back to their local areas for interested members to learn.
