Another Craft Happening 3 , Saturday November 28th, 2009
A fabulous afternoon of tea, chat, thread and wool as the rain poured outside! A Craft Happening #3 was held at Street Level Photoworks, Trongate 103. The Craft Happening occupied the main gallery, surrounded by the photographic work of Colin Grey whose exhibition was showing at the time.
Specialist knitters Emma Irvine and Aline Williamson were on hand to help anyone with their project or learning as well as show their own crafted art works which created an inspired buzz.
