Back in April our #GarrettsGreen #Arts & #Crafts group learnt how to #knit. Being it was #Easter they made cute little chicks & rabbits. The best thing about the session was that those who could already knit passed their #skills to the beginners. #GarrettsGreenArtsAndCrafts

In case you have been wondering what we do...

We love the amazing photos the Local Arts Forums get at events...

@Number11Arts @BarbaraNice If only all bus journeys were like that @BarbaraNice that's what would save the planet, we'd all be travelling by bus 🤣

@johnmostyn @BarbaraNice (hope your journey goes smoothly very soon)

@Number11Arts @BarbaraNice Chance@would be a fine thing. 35 minutes at the stop and no bus. I think Barbara broke it.

@johnmostyn @BarbaraNice 😱Barbara! too much fun broke the bus!

@johnmostyn @BarbaraNice safe journey! make sure you have a look out for anyone humming queen or abba (maybe on a return commute) 🔍

@Number11Arts @BarbaraNice Just about to catch the number 11 from Erdington to Perry Barr. Don't have the skills Barbara has so won't try this x

An afternoon of arts, crafts, games, workshops and performances to wrap up a brilliant 5 weeks of #10to11 …and @BarbaraNice has stopped by!
