Description
Craft Friday is a crafting event for everyone. No previous experience is necessary, we will have experts on hand to help and all the materials that you will need.
Each month we will have some seasonal items you can join us in making, we have previously made crochet cacti and macramé plant hangers.
As October is the start of the academic year, this session we will be thinking about reuniting with our old friends and making new ones. We will be making friendship bracelets, key rings and bag charms. You could make these as a gift for someone special or a treat for yourself. As ever, you are also welcome to use the time to work on your own project in company.
You are welcome to come for the whole session or just drop in for some of it. We will have light refreshments for you to enjoy.
