The Local Handcraft Association is a group of craft workers each specialising in their own unique handmade craft.

Our shop
We are best known for our Handcraft Shops, which operated for nearly forty years. Although the shop In St Johns Avenue Gordon closed in February 2010 as a result of the economic downturn, we are still in business and you can still buy all of our handmade crafts.  In 2011 we rented space for a stall in St Ives Shopping Village for 3 one week sales.  Many of our faithful customers came to say "Hello" and to buy our lovely craft.   In 2012 there will more chances to come to our sales.

We will be having another 3 sales in St Ives in 2012
