Zoom - Craft Group - September (Physical and Zoom Options)

This face-to-face meeting will be hosted at Jasmine’s flat in Surbiton, not far from our old haunt, Wags and Tails. Please note that Jasmine’s flat is up two flights of stairs, but there is no lift available.

For this month’s meeting we’re going to meet face-to-face for scrap paper and material art. You’re also welcome to bring along your own projects and join for a natter. Members who are unable to meet face-to-face will still be able to join via Zoom (link below). 

We came up with lots of ideas for future projects at our brainstorming session in August, one of which was scrap paper and material art. The Maple Village craft box is full of all material samples and coloured card and paper. These could be used for making greetings cards, origami gift boxes, patchwork art, bookmarks, garlands, brooches - the choice is yours!  Card, craft knives, glue, material samples and other bits and pieces will be provided, but you may wish to bring your own scissors/needles to make sure you have everything you need for your own creation. If you have some materials at home that you’d really like to use then feel free to bring them with you.

While COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted, we will still be taking precautions to reduce the risk of transmission:

· Please don’t arrive any earlier than 10 minutes before the event start time.

· Please give each other plenty of space when arriving and throughout the evening.

· Additional hand sanitiser and wipes will be provided by Jasmine at her flat.

· Jasmine will sanitise the chairs and other surfaces before members arrive and keep the room well-ventilated.

· You will be welcome to use the toilet if you need it.
