staying up late


As promised, on a quick note on the goings on at friday late at the V&A.

First, we got stuck in with some hands on type with Sara De Bont.
Little groups of grown ups happily sat on the floor with crayons and pritt stick, to make some crafty graphics.

Jons inky fingers did some printing


My 3DE

We also witnessed the Tea dance, but my fella did refuse to join in! The icing sugar floor was stunning, though.

Lastly, heres the result of the casting of fingers in chocolate… maybe too realistic to eat?

It’s a sign

This blog is intended to be quite London specific, (as a bit of an antidote to all the American Crafty blogs I read), and you can’t get more iconic Londoness than this:

Nice use of street signs from Cockney Design.

Carpets of icing sugar

Friday late at the V&A is always worth a visit, but this Friday promises a carpet of icing sugar! I have to check that out. Plus the chance to have your finger cast in chocolate and get involved in a cake making workshop.

A very crafty Friday night out for free!
