Christmas Crafternoons in Central Croydon

Take time out from the frenzied run-up to Christmas and enjoy some valuable 'me time' crafting under the guidance of our friendly team of volunteers.

There will be a selection of activities that will suit everyone, whether you're a complete novice or a seasoned expert. Crafts will involve textiles and yarn and may include elements of sewing, embroidery, crochet, knitting or macrame.

As part of Green Croydon Circular Economy, we want to encourage you to upcycle your old decorations or save money by breathing new life into scrap materials or old clothes. Suggested crafts could include crocheting covers for old baubles, making garlands out of leftover fabric or yarn, or making ornaments out of buttons and curtain rings. But that's only the tip of the iceberg... you're the designer!

We have lots of fabrics, yarns and haberdashery to choose from. Will you go for frosty whites and cool blues? Traditional red, green and gold? A Scandi hygge vibe? Or a riotous explosion of colour? It's totally up to you!

The session lasts for three hours overall but you can arrive and leave at any point within that timeframe. If you work in Central Croydon, why not pop in during your lunch hour?

WHAT TO BRING

All equipment provided for the duration of the workshop.

Crafting materials will be available to purchase at low cost but feel free to bring your own fabric or yarn if you have a stash at home. Maybe you have an old party outfit you'd like to turn into festive decorations...
