Social Crackpots and Basket Cases Sessions (Oct/Nov)
Description
In a world that feels like it's unravelling, it can be heartening to transform disparate threads into a cohesive form. More than ever, we need to do tactile, tangible things. Intentional actions, with real people, in real time.
Get together with other self-confessed "crackpots and basket cases" to enjoy clay play and weaving in a relaxed, social space and connect through craft.
Bring your own project to work on or purchase a starter kit (weaving or clay). Note: If you purchase a kit once, just book general attendance at the second session. If you miss the first session, purchase a kit for the second session.
There's no pressure to achieve here, just opportunity to set aside time for making or enjoy a cuppa and a chat.
This is not a formal workshop, but you'll have access to skilled facilitators in clay and weaving for some extra support if you need a hand and some examples to inspire you!
