Crochet.
Guild Branch.
Mardyke Community Centre, 52 South Street, Rainham, RM13 8PJ
Our group specialise in double filet crochet.
Description
The East London Crochet Group first went public in September 2000, although it existed around the kitchen table for a long time before that, exploring Double Filet crochet with a number of colleagues and friends, so it has always been a specialist crochet group, existing alongside the London Group which we also supported. Our membership is correspondingly scattered, coming from as far as Warwickshire and even Fort William but with a strong local core.
Workshops are designed to provide projects for all levels of competence, from an ability to work trebles and chains upwards. Each year the meetings have a theme. That theme is continued in our annual Residential Workshop at High Leigh Conference Centre held in August.
Cost
The cost of each day workshop (10am till 4pm) at the Mardyke Community Centre is £18 for Guild members, £20 for non-members and £10 for students which includes, tea, coffee, biscuits etc, please bring your own packed lunch. All workshops are about double filet crochet.
Meeting dates
In person workshops four times a year. 10 am – 4 pm. Zoom meetings in between.
This group also runs an annual residential retreat.
