Corris Craft Centre, a Best Day Out in Wales finalist in the National Tourism Awards for Wales 2015, is bursting with activity this summer.
All nine of its craft studios occupied following the opening of a brand new printing studio, Accidental Republic, run by designer-maker Kevin Hodgetts. He designs and hand-prints his own unique, and often humorous, designs onto t-shirts, cards and gifts.
This season has also witnessed the re-opening of the Spellbound Herbals studio where Sarah Dalzell has returned and is once again making herbal lotions and remedies to treat a myriad of ailments. The individual craft studios open daily from 10am to 5pm.
Corris Craft Centre, which is located in Corris, near Machynlleth, also boasts three unique visitor attractions including King Arthur’s Labyrinth underground adventure, Corris Mine Explorers and Lost Legends of The Stone Circle as well as a Welsh food and drink shop and the Y Crochan café.
Ian Rutherford, Corris Craft Centre’s managing director, said: “Becoming a finalist in the Best Day Out in Wales was a real honour. With our nine craft studios now fully occupied, three unique attractions and a Welsh food and drink shop and café, we’re an even better day out in Wales.”
