The popular Outdoor Arts and Crafts event held on the lawns of IW Council’s Freshwater Library takes place on Wednesday 11 August.
Since the event started in 1995, many of the Island’s artists and crafts people have demonstrated their works. This year, a wide range of crafts people will be present, including experts in felt work, pottery and glass painting.
They will all feature alongside eye-catching local photographs and paintings. Children are also catered for on the library lawns in the morning. A Rhymetime for babies and toddlers will take place from 1030 – 1100, followed by a storytime for 5 – 9 year olds.
At 1130, Paul van Giap will run a painting workshop for children of all ages. The event is entirely free and attracts hundreds of visitors who over the years have enjoyed the variety of exhibitions on offer. Refreshments are available courtesy of the Women’s Institute for Freshwater Lifeboat funds.
The arts and crafts will be displayed on the lawns from 1000 – 1600.
