Arty Crafty Friday

About:

Come along to our adult group art workshops to meet others, practice creative skills, and explore the benefits of art for our mental wellbeing.

Each session, we will pick a different creative project to do. These have previously been mosaic tiling, collaging, jewellery making, paper beads, and much more. See Agenda below for each month's activity.

Each session there will also be the option to do knitting and crocheting. Wool and needles will be provided, but you're welcome to bring any existing projects that you're working on! You don't need to know how to knit or crochet - we'd be happy to teach you.

All classes will be at Bethnal Green Mission Church, with refreshments provided and additional options available from The Beehive cafe.

All classes are free of charge however, if you feel able to do so donations are welcome to help with the running cost of the workshops. All activities are based at beginner level for adults and are for adults to meet together and practice creative activities. All materials are provided and groups are very welcome.

Where:

Bethnal Green Mission Church, 305 Cambridge Heath Road, E2 9LH.

Come though the big grey doors next to The Beehive cafe, and we're straight through in the hall!

When:

Once a month (usually on the last Friday of the month), usually 2-4pm but do check the time on each specific booking.
