Leeds Zine Library Lates! A Midsummer Night's Zine

Celebrate Summer Solstice and Midsummer with us at this month's zine late event. Make a magical folklore inspired zine, frolic around the zine library in a flower headdress and explore our specially curated midsummer inspired display. 

The zine library late events happen on the last Wednesday of the month. Each month we have a workshop, self-led activities, and music, making it a great opportunity to meet new zine makers, get inspired by the library collections and learn new skills.

Suitable for 16+

Make a Spinning Ring in a Day with Toby Cotterill

In this session you’ll craft your own unique, silver spinning ring to take home with you. During the session you’ll cover basic jewellery making techniques including annealing, piercing, texturing, soldering and polishing, to create a ring with up to two spinning bands, in a choice of texture and materials.

Some people use these kinetic rings as a form of meditation as you can rotate the inner band/s and take a mindful moment for yourself.

Volunteer Willow Workshops: Large Scale Lanterns

Join us at our Willow Workshops and come help us to create Farsley’s first ever large-scale Lantern Festival by volunteering at our weekly sculpture sessions in September.

 

In these workshops you’ll be taught how to create large-scale lantern sculptures using eco-friendly willow and paper.

 

The lanterns will have a wonderfully wholesome ‘Urban Wildlife’ theme and once complete they will be displayed at two spectacular Lantern Parades; one at Farsley’s Lights’ Switch On in November and the other at Farsley's Charity Food Drive in December!

Family Workshop: Headdress Decorating

Join us for a morning (10am - 12noon) or afternoon (1pm - 3pm) of arts and crafts at SCRAP Creative Reuse Project with artist Morwenna Catt.

Morwenna Catt is an internationally exhibiting artist working across media, with a specialism in Textiles and Illustration.  For many years Morwenna has also designed and created large scale characters, costumes, lanterns, banners and site decor for events and parades, working with communities to make their ideas come to life.
