Forget recession-related job cuts; you got fired after boss lady caught you feeling up Alex from accounting.
Put those idle hands to good use at The Papered Parlour — a new contemporary craft venue in Clapham.
With a make-do-and-mend philosophy (perfect for the unemployed), this creative spot houses classrooms, a cafe, exhibition space for private events and an artist’s studio to rent. Classes include knitting, life drawing, felting, book making and screen printing, all taught by University of Arts London graduates.
Try something new and discover a hidden talent. Who knows? Your work may even make you some money.
It’s a winner. Hands down.
