Meet-ups

Free lacemaking meet-ups.

Bring your bobbin lace, needlelace, tatting, crochet lace or knitting lace and lets make lace together! Come along, bring whatever you are working on and keep each other company. The idea is to chat ‘lace’ over a hot drink, share ideas and resources, and to make our crafts visible to the general public. We have been meeting up in The Commons Cafe at The Minories in Colchester, Essex. This local co-operative cafe holds space for many brilliant events and organisations and serves amazing food and drink. The meet-ups are free to attend but we do ask that your support our wonderful hosts through buying a tea or coffee and maybe even a cake! Check out .@laceartsocial to find out when the next meet up is.
