What a brilliant first lantern‑making session with artist Shamila Chady!

A huge thank you to the Community Hub for hosting us, and to all the wonderful ladies who came along and got stuck in. Such a friendly, creative atmosphere — we loved every minute.

We’re already looking forward to next week. We’ll be getting a bit more technical with the willow and creating butterflies, shapes and bees and anything else to attach to the bigger structures. If you’d like to join us and make your own shape, please come along — you’re more than welcome.

It’s a very inclusive, friendly group and it’s completely FREE!

Next one. Tuesday 9th June The Bulwell Academy Community Hub 9:30-11:30. Please come to the reception to sign in and someone will be there to meet you. Rachael Pearson-Harrold One Vision Partnership
