Yarn bombing took place in Whitworth Park next to The Whitworth Art Gallery, Crowcraft Park and Hulme Park as part of Hulme Where the Art Is.

Simple book making



May Lo-fi DIY
Making things happen!
On Tuesday 1st of May 9 6-9pm at Common (Edge ST, Northern Quarter)


This month Lo Fi offers a second chance at Book binding. I'm going to demonstrate a variety of book binding techniques. All materials will be provided for which we will ask a small donation of £2. If you have some favourite finds then bring em along too, a gorgeous gift wrap perhaps or a special flyer you don’t want to dispose of? Grandma’s buttons?  

If you have something you’re already in the middle of or made recently bring it along for show and tell please. We would love to see!

Common will take orders for our tea or whatever drinks and nibbles make take your fancy?
