Call for artists!
Local artist Paula MacGregor is looking for artists who would like to run a creative workshop for Slack Space.
They cannot offer any payment but may be able to help with the materials. Artists are invited to host three hour workshops for adults during the daytime, evening, or at the weekend. Whatever suits you.
Paula is the workshop co-ordinator and can help and advise you. If you have a craft skill but have not run a workshop before, this could be the perfect place to start. Paula will support you as much as you need it!
Contact Paula via email if you can offer anything. Some requests and suggestions are: batik, carving, printing, scrapbooking…. or maybe you can do something they haven’t thought of!

Embroiderers Guild this Saturday

15 Queen Street, CO1 2PH
The Embroiderers’ Guild host monthly workshops here every Saturday morning from 10am - 12pm. £5 per session, you get the chance to experment with a wide range of craft materials (not just embroiderery) without the worry of shelling out on a start up kit and realising you don’t like the medium.
This month the theme for the workshop is hearts and kisses. We don’t know much more than that but can guarantee you’ll have a great time with a friendly open group. Plus there’s always strong coffee and lots of tea to keep you going. There’s no better way to start the day!
The mornings are for anybody who is interested in textile art, either novice or pros.
