Mother Tongue is a craft group for women who have English as an additional language
Mother Tongue meets every Wednesday morning 10am to 11.30am during school term time. The group brings people who enjoy making together to share craft skills and benefit from spending time with each other and enjoying making with their hands.
Mother Tongue is open to women with English as an additional language .
Come with your own craft project or don't bring anything at all and be inspired what materials and skills are on hand within the group. Each term a group project is set and you can decide to take part or work on your own craft.
Yarn, materials and needles are available and participants are also welcome to bring their own.
This term's group/community project is knitting items for the Royal Berkshire Hospital - Voluntary Services and Chemo gift Bags .
Mother Tongue welcomes all skill levels welcome from beginner to experienced.
To allow our workshops to be accessible to all we are able to offer our workshops for a nominal fee and we have a limited number of free places for each session. If you are able we have created different pay grades or an option to donate. All donations help us to continue our work to make space for art for everyone every day.
By attending this workshop you are agreeing to act in accordance with our workshop behaviour policy which can be viewed here: https://www.jelly.org.uk/policies
Find us in our next space on the 1st Floor in Broad St Mall. We are the last unit nearest the public toilets.
Inclusivity, safety, respect, confidentiality and consent are fundamental principles at Jelly workshops and events.
Frequently asked questions:
We are a small team working behind the scenes answering your questions. If you email us via eventbrite or via our website we will answer as soon as we can.
Where are you based?
Our studios are located within Broad St Mall. You can find us on the first floor. We are the last unit before the toilets and exit to the carpark. If you get lost please ask any Broad St Mall security guard and they will direct you.
Sometimes our workshops take place in the community. Be sure to check the address on your ticket. When we are out and about in Reading town centre in Forbury Gardens or at festivals we will not know our exact location within the festival site until the day.
If I cannot make my paid workshop, can I transfer my ticket to another event or get a refund?
We are able to offer a refund or transfer your ticket to a future event if you contact us a minimum of 7 days before the event starts. After this time we cannot offer any refunds or transfers. 48 hours before the event you can contact us to enquire about a waiting list and we will endeavour to transfer your ticket.
As a charity we rely on donations and ticket sales to pay our artists and models. We always keep ticket costs to a minimum and when possible offer a limited number of tickets as a ‘pay what you can’ and a donation option if you are able to pay more.
Our free community workshops and festival workshops are often made possible due to funding by the organisers. These workshops are popular and run at capacity. If you have selected a free ticket and are no longer able to attend please return your ticket so it is able to go to people on our waiting list. At busy times there may be a short wait at the workshop table and make sure you allow plenty of time to join us.
