The Cranleigh Art and Crafts society was founded in 1968 by Joy Attwell - a Cranleigh resident and renowned potter. More than 50 years later, the Society goes from strength to strength with a thriving membership and an ethos that enjoying all things ‘creative’ is something that should be open to - from complete beginner to experienced artist
As well as monthly demonstrations we hold an annual exhibition of our members work, run several workshops in the year run by professional artists and crafters, where members can have a go at a new technique. From April, the Society will be running monthly, morning, painting and crafting sessions where members can bring whatever they like and spend a couple of hours doing their favourite creative work, having fun with likeminded people in a social environment.
We pride ourselves on the warm welcome we give new members – or even people who want to come along and experience a demonstration - why not spend a couple of hours and find out if it is time to give yourself a new hobby (or revive an old one) and see how art and crafting can contribute to positive mental well being – and be a lot of fun!

Our demonstrations take place in the The Band Room, which is located in the Village Way, next to the Cranleigh Leisure Centre and take place on a Saturday afternoon. Workshops are again usually held in The Band Room on a Saturday, but all Venues and timings of events can be found on the Events page – or if you are unsure you can email .
