We provide unique craft courses and workshops in the Midlands in sewing and fabric crafts and supply basic requirements for sewing, embroidery and knitting. We also have a selection of gifts and practical items in hand turned wood.

About Us

The shop and teaching centre is run by me, Susan Eleanor Sands. I have been involved in crafts for 50 years and teaching for 25.

There is a warm welcome for everyone who comes to the shop for a chat, a cup of coffee or to participate in any of the on-going craft sessions and we have many regulars who have become friends.

The courses run from the Old Flower Shop are mainly general teaching classes and walk-in craft sessions where you can come to the shop with your own project and help will be given on an hourly charge basis.

There are also specialised craft courses. The aim of these courses is to teach the basics of specific crafts or improve your skills in crafts you are already familiar with. 

We aim to provide all the necessary materials as part of the course fee and courses will generally be set up to allow you to take home a completed item. Any exception to this will be stated on the course details. See all the information on the day courses at the bottom of the page.

You can get to us by car and by bus from Stourbridge.

This is a craft club for those of you who are unable to visit us during the week but would really enjoy being with like minded people and if necessary get advice on your chosen craft.

Bring your own craft projects and get advice or learn a new skill for the craft you have always wanted to try. There is no limit to how creative you can be.

There are two sessions a day, the first runs from 10am to 12noon and the second from 1pm to 3pm.

Come and join us on the first and second Saturday in every month.

A friendly welcome awaits you at Crafts by Eleanor in Kinver.

Tea and coffee is provided. 

We look forward to seeing you.
