Wednesday 10th June.

We look forward to welcoming you to our eclectic mix of in-person sessions. 

On Wednesday, 10th June, MFC brings you the Dragon Café in the City project in collaboration with Shoe Lane Library and the City of London.

Be creative: Sketch. Laugh. Marble. …

12.15pm (30 mins): Lunchtime Laughter

Energising laughter session with Sally Dixey. Designed to lift the mood and calm the mind. At just 30 minutes, is perfect to fit into your day.

In person at Shoe Lane Library and via Zoom.

1pm (60 mins): Sketch & Stroll

In this gentle stroll with artist Vanessa Lawrence, we will work from the creative prompt of “Aliveness!”. We’ll experiment with wax resist rubbings & drawing from the figure to create textural portraits of inner selves and outer environments.  Be mindful that water-based mediums may stain, so please dress accordingly.  Art materials provided. Bring your own sketch book if you have one.

In person. Start & end at Shoe Lane Library.

2.30pm (90 mins): Relax & Create: Drop In

Stay on to continue your artwork or drop by for this self-led sociable session with Drawing, Lego, Chess, Origami & Newspapers. Bring your own handcrafts e.g. knitting or crochet or your own board games.

In person at Shoe Lane Library. No booking needed.

4.30pm (60 mins): Suminagashi Paper Marbling

Join paper artist Tracey Bush to try out the mindful craft of Japanese marbling.  Suminagashi or ‘floating ink’ involves carefully dropping ink onto water and transferring the resulting swirling patterns onto paper to create unique, organic designs. Materials provided.  Be mindful that ink may stain, so you may like to bring an apron to protect your clothes.

In person at Shoe Lane Library.
