Belmont Gallery of Art

A community gallery showcasing regional visual arts

Knitting Circle

Kimberly Becker will be
holding a “knitting circle” at the BGA.

Bring something you are working on and come hang out with us at the gallery! It can be something other than knitting — and Kimberly doesn’t knit — so no lessons.

#belmontgalleryofart #feminiknitting #menarewelcome

Friday night, Jan. 19: 6-8:30pm
Come if you knit or not!
