The Jinney Ring Craft Centre

It’s amazing how people of Britain respect their national crafts trying to do their best to preserve them and it can result in establishment of a very special centre of crafts where these are supported, developed, exhibited and taught.

The charming rural surroundings of the Jinney Ring Craft Centre situated only 16 miles from Shakespeare’s Stratford- on- Avon will let you take a step back in time. Beautiful old timbered barns have been thoroughly restored by Richard and Jenny Greatwood and now house 12 Individual Craft Workshops, Craft Gallery, Gift Shop, Needlework Shop, Craft Courses, Evening Restaurant and Tea Room. Visiting 12 Craft Workshops one can see craftsmen at work and admire their skills. Jewellery, Bridal Dresses, Milliner, Crystal Glass, Stained Glass, Leather, Paint Effects, Potter, Wood Turning, Violin Maker, Sign Maker and Picture Framer – all these Craft Workshops are gathered on the premises of the Jinney Ring Craft Centre and are able to surprise any visitor. And if you are a creative person you will certainly absorb lots of fresh ideas and new impressions. You will get a chance to enrich your experience, and improve your working techniques.

Craft Gallery is dedicated to the works of British artists and craftsmen. The Gallery changes the exhibition throughout the year. Arts and crafts are displayed in the Gallery together which is characteristic of many museums of Great Britain.

Needlework Shop of the centre offers a wide range of fabrics, needlework accessories, cross stitch and embroidery kits, patchwork and silk paint supplies.

Gift Shop in its turn stocks a wide variety of unusual gifts and souvenirs to suit every taste and every purse.

Impressed by the work of skilled masters, plenty of people of various ages come to the conclusion that it would be great to learn a new skill on one of the craft teaching courses, thus preserving national crafts of the UK and refining their own unique creative style.

Hungry visitors of the Jinney Ring Craft Centre will enjoy farmhouse kitchen as well as the finest views in Worcestershire.
