Informal, free gathering to knit, crochet or stitch and chat with like-minded people in the Reading Room at The Harris.
Knit & Natter is back at The Harris on Monday 9 November, from 10am to 12pm in the Reading Room. It's an informal gathering for anyone who knits, crochets, stitches, or just wants to learn something new. The idea is simple: you bring along whatever craft project you're currently working on and spend the morning chatting with other people doing the same. It's as much about the company as the crafting, with plenty of room to swap gossip, tips and patterns while you work.
It's open to everyone, whether you've been knitting for years or you're just picking up the needles for the first time. The session is aimed at adults aged 16 and over, so it's a good spot if you're looking for a bit of creative company during the working week. You don't need to be at any particular level to join in, and you don't have to be working on anything fancy—whatever you've got on the go will do.
The session is run by The Harris on Market Square, the city's cultural hub in the heart of the Flag Market. The gallery recently reopened as a free, inclusive space for art, literature, history and fashion following the £19 million 'The Harris Your Place Project'. It's still run by Preston Museums Trust, with collections that cover ceramics, glass, fashion and art—including a 13,000-year-old elk—alongside a library and a shop. The venue welcomes guide and assistance dogs and has extensive accessibility facilities on site.
