Join us for Museum Meet-up at Wakefield Museum once a month on Saturdays for the chance to meet new people, learn about your local area, and get hands-on with some creative fun!
Each month explores a different craft, whilst having the opportunity to chat and enjoy a brew and a biscuit.
August 24: We’ll be bundle dyeing using natural dyes to make ribbons and patches inspired by the museum's historical textiles.
September 21: We’ll be making thumb pots and slab vases inspired by ceramics in the museum collection.
October 19: We'll be making notebooks inspired by some of the amazing paperwork in the museum collection.
November 16: We'll be having a go at lino printed, taking inspiration from the museum card collection.
December 21: We'll be making block printed wrapping paper inspired by our printed wallpapers.
January 11: We'll be having a go at fabric painting a scarf inspired by ceramics from the collection.
February 8: We'll be having a go at making a motivational tea light holder inspired by fonts and texts in the collection.

All sessions will start in the Learning Zone located in Wakefield Library on the first floor of Wakefield One.
