CREATIVE residents can explore their artistic side when two libraries host machine embroidery workshops.
Textile artist Janet Browne will be at the Bilton and Woodfield Community Library and Stokesley Library, to help people make artwork which will later be exhibited at the library It is an opportunity for anyone who would like to develop their sewing machine skills or learn something bright and eye-catching.
County Councillor Chris Metcalfe, North Yorkshire County Council’s executive member for Library and Information Services, said: “These workshops run under the Creative Residences programme help libraries to be seen as the hub of their communities and give people a chance to enhance their creativity.”
The Bilton and Woodfield Community Library has eight workshops taking place on September 23 and 30 and October 7 and 14, from 10am to 12.30pm and an afternoon session from 1.30pm to 4pm.
The workshops in Stokesley take place on September 1, 6, 8 and 13, from 10am to 3.30pm and are suitable for people who can already use a sewing machine.
