Thanks to everyone that made it such a fun night!

Craft Gallore!

As if it wasn't enough offering our crafty friends goody bags we've also composed a gorgeous craft filled raffle prize for tonight's 1st Birthday Bash! "What's in the bag dad?"you ask. Well...recycled fabric crocheted shopper, jewellery, cookie cutters, a bottle of Cava and tons more yet to be confirmed! Sounds good?
At only £1 a pop you can't lose! Try your luck and if the Lady is smiling down on you you might just bag yourself a few treats.

Making it into the local rag!

How exciting The East London Craft Guerrilla has a whole page devoted to the D.I.Y. craft night! OK so it's taken a while to catch on but I'm pleased that for our first birthday the good people of W.F.G. have recognised the trend for crafting. Yes my darlings it's reached the suburbs!Actually it's quietly been going on for a while now.
So there are a few inconsistencies but hey,that happens.
No one would be the wiser but I should clarify...
Yes I did study Ceramics in Porto (Portugal) but it's not my home town. I love Porto and yes that's were my roots are. It's complicated to explain...I'm a child of the world!
Handsome Twins are mine and Lisa's alter DJ ego and we're not part of the Crimes against Pop collective. They are our mates and we love them dearly and love the fact that they are playing on Wednesday but "Crimes" is their baby! As for free craft packs...not quite. Free goody bags packed with stuff but we wouldn't want anyone to come and be disappointed.However there are craft packs to purchase so you can create on the night or take away with you. I hear there are a few special projects for this edition!
As far as "Stitch and Bitch" joining us...I had no idea there was a local S&B group but they're very welcome to join us. Finally Louise...Batten and not Batter. Again these things happen and it's no big-e.
I'm just pretty stoked that Craft's making news!!!Hooray!
Roll on Wednesday!

March...a time to make do and mend and celebrate our birthday!

It's official CRAFT GUERRILLA is one year old! This time last year it seemed to be an almost forgotten dream and it almost didn't come to life! Three years in the planning ,last March 2008 our little craft group started off as an answer to getting to grips with the world and it's unhealthy appetite with mass produced items and the waste it generates. Wow how things are a changing! We're happy that every one's woken up and joined us on this exciting and creative endeavour! We started off by holding craft markets but things have a funny way of coming together and evolving into even bigger and better projects. Because of the markets we've met many talented people and because of them things like the D.I.Y. craft nights have come to light and become the success they are today.
Join us for a celebration of what we hope will be the first of many more!
The first 50 people through the door will get a goody bag...all you early birds get a special crafty treat!
As usual we'll have some fun and easy craft projects,guest DJ's, vintage board games and impromptu workshops. This edition Lisa Margreet will be holding a "make do and mend" session. Bring along those slightly tatty knitted items and she'll show you how to darn them back into life! Now is no time for chucking things out and because we're all feeling the pinch we're still not charging an entry fee! However there is a small charge per craft pack but you get a project and hopefully some new skill you can use in future. So weather you want to learn something new or brush up on a forgotten skill we hope you can join us!
Also don't forget to bring your GUILTY PLEASURES.Your love to hate/hate to love records! The fab DJ duo Handsome Twins will spin them for you and you wont have to own up to it!
All craftes welcome. Bring your own projects and if we can help you let us know.
See you all soon.
