Café Crafts or Skill Sharing

  • VO100093

Description

Love to craft? Have a skill to share? We’re looking for volunteers to run occasional 1-hour skill sharing sessions at Bellfield Community Café. Could you design & deliver your own session? In the past, volunteers have run workshops on water colour painting, crochet, felting & graphic design just to name a few! Perhaps you speak a foreign language, know origami or you’re budding photographer? If you can teach it over tea & cake, and enjoy chatting too, then we’d love to hear from you.
