Craft Club is a brilliant new monthly creative club for young people aged 7-14, where participants can make friends, learn new craft skills and enjoy creating!!
As part of the Let’s Create Leigh Park project funded by The Arts Council, Craft Club will become part of our programmed offer over 18 months!
So, if you are, or know a creative young person that you think would enjoy Craft Club, please sign up. Spaces are limited to 10 per session and at only £5 each (£3 for Leigh Park residents) we expect these sessions to sell out quicky!
Craft Club takes place at Making Space on the *first Monday of every month from 4-5.30pm! *A few of the dates have been moved to avoid Bank Holidays.
The workshops will be led by Catherine: “I am a qualified Teacher and Art Educator. I currently work with different groups and ages, exploring a wide range of artistic skills and creative experiences. I am a potter and love experimenting with shape, texture and colour, as I am developing my skills and learning so much from other wonderful makers.”
-Catherine Claasen.
