Mother Tongue - Autumn/Winter Term

Jelly is an energetic charity championing the creative arts. We have played a strategic role in Reading’s cultural life since 1993 – enabling art to appear in unexpected places and creating opportunities for people to look on and join in. We believe in the power of the arts to delight, intrigue, challenge and enrich, and we're committed to forming creative alliances and partnerships that encourage art and cultural life to flourish.

Mother Tongue

A Craft group for women who have English as an additional language

<h3>Mother Tongue meets every Wednesday morning 10am to 11.30am during school term time. The group brings people who enjoy making together to share craft skills and benefit from spending time with each other and enjoying making with their hands.</h3> <h3>Mother Tongue is open to women with English as an additional language.</h3> Come with your own craft project or don't bring anything at all and be inspired what materials and skills are on hand within the group. Each term a group project is set and you can decide to take part or work on your own craft. Yarn, materials and needles are available and participants are also welcome to bring their own. This term's group/community project is knitting items for the Royal Berkshire Hospital - Voluntary Services. Mother Tongue welcomes all skill levels welcome from beginner to experienced. This is not a taught workshop although the group is alway very happy to share their craft skills and knowledge. You do not need to commit to coming every week.
