CRAFT GUERRILLA events

Spring is a time for growth and the Craft Guerrilla isn't immune and is doing just that by expanding into the big wide world! Loads of new monthly events starting in May:
The Old Queen's Head,
93 Feet east
and the relaunch of our monthly summer craft markets in Walthamstow!
And if that wasn't enough we'll be pitching our tent at the Indie Tracks festival for a summer craft workshop...Rock N Roll, we're bringing it to the kids!
We've also been featured in a few web sites and magazines so fingers crossed there will be others inspired to start up their own Craft Guerrillas. In fact we have one ready in the side lines and our crafty sisters are ready and waiting to get things rolling in June.

So we hope you can join us a t some point.

This Wednesday...

Cloths swap...a Swaperama at the Craft Guerrilla washing line!
Just in time to help you spring clean your wardrobe the Craft Guerrilla are holding a clothes swap at 93 Feet East on Tuesday 5th May.

Boys and girls, fling open your drawers and bring all those clothes, shoes and accessories that you don't wear anymore (although please make sure they're clean and in good condition) and swap them for new ones! The Craft Guerrilla tutors will be available to help you pimp your new clothes with vintage buttons and other trimmings.

As with all our DIY Craft Nights, please feel free to bring your own projects. Foxed by a knitting pattern? Got your garter tangled with your stocking stitches? Running stitch run away with you? Want to learn how to darn / knit / crochet? Ask our tutors to help you out!

£5 cover charge if you're taking part in the clothes swap or FREE ENTRY if you're bringing your own projects.

Please get there with your clothes by 8PM as the first hour will be spent hanging them up and eyeing up your potential swaps! Please bring at least one item to swap per person.

As always the Craft Guerrilla DJs & guests will provide some crafty beats while you knit, sew and pose in your new clothes.

Charity Crafternoon " Fair Pensions" aid!

Here's another great Craft event by our crafty mates...Crafty Creatures!

CRAFTY CREATURES PRESENTS AN AFTERNOON OF CRAFT, MUSIC AND CAKES
ENTRY: £5
ADDRESS: ST PANCRAS CHURCH HALL 1 LANCING STREET CAMDEN
DATE: SATURDAY 18TH APRIL
TIME: 2PM – 5PM
WEB ADDRESS: http://thecraftycreatures.blogspot.com / http://www.fairpensions.org.uk/

On the 18th April Crafty Creatures launches its very first "crafternoon" extravaganza at the St Pancras Church Hall.
This is your chance to create your very own T Shirt Dog, pig out on the finest range of homemade cakes, drink tea until you turn into a tea bag and listen to some very fine music. What more could you want? Roller skating hostesses... ok then.

Crafty Creatures is the clever guise of the charity FairPensions (full notes on charity below) and the all profits will go directly to them.  This event also aims to raise the profile of FairPensions, who campaign for the money you invest in your pension to be invested responsibly and ethically. Keeping in line with the ethical ethos of FairPensions we will be encouraging attendees to bring their oldest, most loved but well worn T shirt - which they don’t mind cutting up and transforming into a stuffed dog - to this event.  Whilst your creative juices are flowing our lovely hostesses will be at your beck and call serving up homemade cakes and a wide selection of hot drinks. If you love winning prizes (and let’s face it who doesn’t?) then our raffle will tickle your fancy.  Take pleasure in knowing that you are helping to save the planet whilst creating your very own piece of dog shaped art. 

This is a fun filled day that will leave your heart and mind feeling satisfied and your stomach filled to the brim. Come along to St Pancras Church Hall and let out your inner crafty creature.
