CRAFT skills are being taught regularly at a Darwen workshop.

Experts at Minerva Craft Centre are holding twice-monthly sessions with tips on how to make crocheted gifts and accessories.

In the workshop, which takes place every other Friday at the centre in Atlas Road, visitors are shown how to use crochet flowers to make keyrings, cushions and blankets.

Materials are not included in the price and anyone attending will need a 4mm crochet hook and co-ordinating colours of cotton yarn, which are available for purchase from Minerva.

Refreshments are provided. Places cost £10 and can be booked through www. minervacrafts.com.
