About this Event

Enjoy board games and working creatively with others? This is the session for you.

Spend a fun and relaxed day working together, making board game prototypes from random themes.



What?
  • This is a collaborative crafting session
  • Design board games together from random themes
  • Make prototypes in the time provided
  • Create some cool stuff


Who is this for?

No experience is needed, just a willingness to work together - Beginners, crafters and the curious are warmly welcomed.



What do I need to bring?

We will provide all materials, however if you have anything in your crafting stash that you would like to use, or think would work well in a game, please bring it along.


This session is being funded by Know Your Neighbourhood programme.



ACCESS & VENUE

Access: If you have additional access needs (e.g. large print, BSL interpreter, level access) Please let us know by emailing or sending us an SMS text/WhatsApp message on 07957 602790‬

These sessions are in our upstairs workshop space. We are in the process of installing a lift, however due to unforseen delays this is now due to be completed later in the year. The event space is up a single flight of 14 steps and then you go around the corner and there are two small steps. Once you're upstairs there is a loo. You shouldn't need to come downstairs for anything until the end of the activity.
