“At the workshop, crafters will learn how to transform old high-heels, boots, trainers and kids shoes into fun comic book couture. Apart from old shoes, materials are supplied.
“Crafters may also like to take their own comic books. Drop into the workshop at anytime of day.
“The venue has wheelchair access and children are also invited to attend with parents/guardians. Narcolepsy UK have provided a donation box for those wishing to donate but it is not a requirement.
“Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.”
