Today Tom took me to a craft fare where one of his friends was going to be. I didn't know a lot about where we were going but loved the place when we got there.
The Long Eaton Art Room is a community arts centre staffed by volunteers to offer artistic and crafting experiences. It works on a drop in basis where you can pop in, pay £5 and spend some time learning a new skill. I love this idea and I am so going to go to learn how to needle felt do I can put my prize to use. There is also a monthly subscription option for £25 and you can as often as you like. There are studio spaces, artists works for sale, a shop for supplies, you name it!
Whilst there we saw some fantastic creations. We particularly liked the work by Kate Cloud, Helen Hallows, Louise MacIntosh-Watson and Emily Smalley amongst a number of others who's cards I didn't pick up.
I also got to meet one of Tom's friends Margi who makes amazing bakes!
A lovely place where I will most certainly be visiting again and again.
On another note...I just got to watch the water fairies put out a wheelie bin fire. What an exciting day!
