Black Country Crafts - stitching and beading course
Come along and have a go at Black Country crafts - from times past to crafts that are still being practiced today.
We will look at the different traditional crafts of the Black Country with a focus on canal stitch craft and jewellery making which will include rag rugging, spiderweb embroidery, fender making and crochet.
Although this is a hands-on craft course, at the start of each session we will be looking into Black Country history, culture and customs, including poetry, stories and recipes.
This will be a fun course suitable for all ages. No experience is necessary and all materials will be provided.

The course starts on 23 February 2012 at LeasowesCommunity College in Halesowen and runs on Thursday afternoons from 1.30pm to 3.30pm .
