East Surrey Textile Group is a friendly and enthusiastic group of stitchers (from beginners to very experienced) with a great programme of speakers and workshops for all things textile related.
They run a thriving group for young people between the ages of eight and sixteen, who meet on Saturdays about six times a year, getting involved with exciting craft and textile projects. For further information about the group, please visit the East Surrey Textile Group website.
We are delighted that the group will once again be holding two pop-in sessions at Reigate library on Saturday 21st June as part of Reigate Summer Festival. The children's taster session "Lucky Letters" will run from 10am-12pm, suitable for ages 7-11 and children must be accompanied by and adult.
