Crafternoons

Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery Fridays Drop-in

About Crafternoons

If you finish work or university early on a Friday, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery has got you covered. 

Crafternoons is a weekly, free, drop-in social event for teens, young adults , and adults. It is an opportunity to try out a new craft or art technique, or to practice the skills that you've already got in a calm social environment. You can expect drop in sessions that will have you sketching museum objects, crafting decorations, or learning a new printing technique.  

The sessions will often be themed around a gallery or event going on at the museum, so there will always be time to have a look around before and after.
