Culture Days @ the Library – Get Crafty
From September 28th to 30th, people across the country will participate in thousands of free, interactive activities that celebrate the world of artists, historians, architects and designers at work in their community. Welcome to Culture Days!
I absolutely love learning new and interesting arts and crafts techniques, and finding new hobbies. Luckily, there will be lots of opportunities to try out something new and exciting this year at one of the many Culture Days workshops.
On September 28 and 29th, many library branches across Toronto are featuring hands on arts and craft programs to help you get in touch with your creative side:
