About Capital Crafters
Capital Crafters is a weekly friendship group that welcomes Defence and Non Defence members to the premises of the Duntroon Community Centre. We aim to provide a friendly atmosphere for individuals to come and relax, meet new people, share ideas and create handmade crafts. You can learn a new craft by participating in one of the many organised activities that run throughout the year, or you can bring your own craft project, have a cuppa and a chat with our friendly members.

With meetings held at the Centre weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30am to 12:30pm, Capital Crafters is open to like-minded individuals who seek a warm and open environment where the support and friendship is as forthcoming as the smiles.

Group Quilt

Every year members of Capital Crafters are asked to take part in the creation of a large handmade quilt that is then offered as first prize in the Christmas Raffle. The design of this quilt ranges from traditional piecework and hand sewing to machine sewing and modern appliqué. The group quilt is a wonderful opportunity to work together and offers sewers and non-sewers alike the chance to learn new skills.
