A relaxed reading group for people who love books about textiles
I love reading books about textiles and I love talking to people about books about textiles, so I have created a book group to do just that.
It’s an online meeting on a Monday evening. I’ll start with sharing some of my thoughts about the book of the month and we will have a chat for about an hour. Books are chosen a few weeks ahead to give you time to buy and read. We try to alternate a longer read with a quick read. The first quarter’s books are listed below. The links to buy books are affiliate links. Tickets to the book group are £5, and it’s free to Members.
Monday January 26th 6pm
