Since the Apna closed for refurbishments and the Mela at Haslingden Community Link, things have gone a little quiet – but at the weekend some the Different Moons team came together at the Boo in Waterfoot, where there was the annual Art & Crafts Market.
Arry and Habiba offered mehndi; Farzana calligraphy (with some great calligraphic candles) and Maryam came with some of her paper cuts. Nusrat had a stall of beautiful fabrics and Mrs Azfar’s daughter Ayesha had her own stall with a range of small home-made crafts.
Meanwhile work has started on the Apna gallery space in Haslingden, with access being cut to the cellar and a toilet installed. We hope that by the end of the winter the building will be open again, and we’ll be offering a new set of classes, workshops and exhibitions.
