Wednesday 21st October.
We look forward to welcoming you to our eclectic mix of in-person sessions.
On Wednesday, 21st October, MFC brings you the Dragon Café in the City project in collaboration with Shoe Lane Library and the City of London.
Welcome back: Laugh. Walk. Write. Draw…
12:15pm (30mins): Lunchtime Laughter
Take a break from the working day and come laugh with us. Sally Dixey leads a lunchtime session of playful, light-hearted fun, with no experience needed and nothing to prepare. Come on your own or with friends, join in as much or as little as you like, and leave feeling lighter.
In person at Shoe Lane Library.
12:50pm (85min): John Harrison Guided Walk
John Harrison was an inventor and clockmaker who designed the first marine chronometer. He lived in London, not far from Shoe Lane Library. To mark 250 years since he died, historian and guide Lester Hillman will lead this guided walk inspired by the man who solved longitude.
Meet and return to Shoe Lane Library.
2:30pm (90 mins): Relax & Create: Drop In
Drop by for this self-led sociable session. Origami, Lego, Chess, Painting and more. Bring your own crochet, knitting or embroidery in progress, or board games.
In person at Shoe Lane Library. No booking needed.
4pm (60mins): Creative Writing with Wordsmiths
Come and play with words in a friendly, relaxed creative writing session led by James from Wordsmiths. Whether you write poems, stories, or just the odd line in a notebook, you're welcome to join in. There's no pressure to share and no experience needed, only a chance to be curious, try something new and see what turns up on the page.
In person at Shoe Lane Library & via Zoom.
5:30pm (60mins): Mark Making
With artist Samuel Mead. Focusing on the process of making marks on paper, rather than being concerned about making something ‘perfect’. Use whatever you may have with you (e.g. paper, pencils, pens, crayons, water colour paints, etc.) to join in this creative workshop. Whatever you have will be just fine.
In person at Shoe Lane Library.
