Late Night Art at The Crescent

Our current Late Night Art series has been curated by artist Amy Ortiz! Amy is working with talented Befast-based artists to bring you a series of creative hands-on activities.

For February's edition of Late Night Art, we're easing into the new year with some slow crafting. 

Pick up knitting as your new hobby, or perhaps you want to give it a go? Try out this craft, led by the lovely Katie Harte, will guide you in creating a knitted bookmark. 

Follow Katie’s unique pattern for the evening: we'll have plenty of materials available, and all levels are welcome. Or feel free to bring along your own projects and materials. 

Come along and knit with us over a glass of wine or a cup of tea. No previous experience required, simply bring yourself, a friend and pop in for a relaxed creative session.
