Urban Craft Club

For adults (age 16+) - all welcome and FREE

Every Friday 1.30-3.30pm
At Old Fire Station, 84 Mayton Street London N7 6QT

The Urban Craft Club started in October 2009, offering an opportunity to people over 16 with some or no skill to learn new techniques in a relaxing, collaborative and informal environment.

Our project for this term is Winter Colours. We will be looking at Fauvism (a 20th-century French art movement) and taking inspiration from surroundings to create fabric designs using techniques of Patchwork, Appliqué and Embroidery. No skills necessary!
