The Craft Workshop began in late 2014, guided by Michelle Berry, who helped participants design and create eye-catching cushion covers.

The Art and Craft Studio meets every weekday afternoon, offering a welcoming space for the many young people eager to participate. Under the leadership of Clarisa Jonas, the studio follows a structured program that includes textile design, printing, and crafting decorative items using recycled materials.

Participants have the option to take their creations home as gifts or sell them through the Barrydale Art Hotel, a dedicated supporter of the studio’s efforts. Sales income is shared equally: half goes to the young artist, and the other half is used to purchase new materials.

Each year, the studio aligns its work with the theme of the annual Giant Puppet Show. In 2020, with the support of interns and community members, the studio produced over 1,000 "Flags of Hope," which adorned the village in December, symbolizing creativity and resilience.
