About the event
In this session you will learn how to make your own piece of perfectly hammered string art. We'll be working with nails and brightly coloured string to create vibrant artwork. There will be lots of easy to follow patterns provided, but feel free to bring your own ideas. This involves a lot of hammering so be prepared for that! I'll bring ear plugs.
