Arts, crafts and other skills during COVID-19, on 17 September
It has come to our knowledge that despite the challenges of the past 18 months, or perhaps thanks to the enforced time at home, many of us have developed or refined creative and crafty talents. These might include writing poetry and prose, baking, woodworking, knitting, painting, Raspberry Pi or Arduino, pottery, photography, and maybe many other things as well.
Would it not be special if we could see and admire the arts & crafts produced by our FASoS colleagues?
