Rastrick
Today Rastrick Library hosts a craft group. It’s for anyone interested in craft, whether it’s knitting, sewing, crochet, art, jewellery making, scrapbooking or felting. It’s aimed at people who want to meet and informally share their craft skills, whilst having a bit of a natter and a cuppa. All abilities are welcome, just bring your own personal craft project that you need to work on, and who knows you may end up showing someone else what to do, or learning a new craft from another member. The session runs from 10am to 12.15pm. Future sessions run on July 16 and August 20.
