Celebrate National Craft Month at Avondale Library

by Ellen Griffin Shade, Avondale Regional Branch Library



National Craft Month was established in 1994 by the Craft & Hobby Association to help people rediscover and learn about the wonderful world of crafting and its many benefits. Of course, at Avondale Regional Branch Library every month is craft month. Programs are free but space is limited, so call 226-4000 or register online through the Birmingham Public Library events calendar.

We’re celebrating spring this March. Here’s a list of our upcoming craft programs for adults:

Wednesday, March 6 @ 2:00 p.m. – Club Create: Come together to create something new! We'll tackle a new craft project each month, with instruction and materials provided. This month we’re crafting mini pom pom bunnies and chicks, using dinner forks as our pom pom makers.

Wednesday, March 13 @ 2:00 p.m. – Art Party: A different art project is offered each month with materials and instruction provided, and each participant can create a unique work of art. This month we’re creating spring button tree canvases.

Wednesday, March 20 @ 2:00 p.m. – Books & Beads: Join us for our monthly jewelry-making adventure. Materials, tools, and instructions are provided, and each participant will complete a jewelry project to take home. Adults of all skill levels are welcome. This month we’re crafting glass-beaded four-leaf clover necklaces.

Wednesday, March 27 @ 2:00 p.m. – Fiber Arts on Fifth Avenue: Knitters, crocheters, and other "fiber artists" of all skill levels can bring their supplies to this informal group to share tips and ideas! The library will have a limited supply of needles and yarn available on a first come, first served basis.
