About

Now the last Friday of every month* Join us for a friendly chat! Part of our Reading Friends Project. The format of the group is 'Bring Your Own Craft'/'Show-and-Tell'. Each month there is an optional theme - this month it is "Normal Life" (inspired by Grayson's Art Club, on Channel 4, and Bristol's Art Club - brism.us/artclub). So the idea is to chat about and show whatever you're crafting at the moment, which may or may not tie in with the theme, and/or come along to see what other people are making and get some inspiration for what to create next! Discussion will be led by Bristol Libraries staff but it will be a relaxed and informal conversation, a way to connect with others whilst having a cup of tea at home. All art media and crafts welcome - painting, knitting, crochet, felting, card making, origami, sewing, printmaking - the list is endless. Everyone is welcome - even if you've never taken part in a craft before! Closed captioning will be available at this event The event is free, but booking in advance is essential Reading Friends is a nationwide programme developed by The Reading Agency and funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.
