On Friday night our knit graffiti faction struck at the heart of a Birmingham suburb.  We met after night fall and covered 48 safety bollards surrounding a roundabout in a rainbow of knitting.

There are photos of the dastardly deed here and a slideshow of photos from Sparks68 on Flickr.

All Fired Arts is a new shop opening on 9 November in Kings Heath, selling locally produced artwork and commissioned pottery.

They’ll also be letting visitors get in on the action with ‘paint your own pottery’ drop in sessions, where they’ll provide you with all you need to paint, glaze and fire you own pieces of pottery in their 2 hour workshops. Sounds like great way to spend a miserable winter afternoon!

They’re holding taster demonstrations on 11 November at 3pm – 5.30pm and 13 November from 12pm – 4pm.

So, if food, craft, sports and games are your thing, you could do worse than to get yourself down to Kings Heath High Street for some free, all-day fun courtesy of Kings Heath Centre Partnership. Here’s a little map and some more detail:

Yet another 10th birthday to add to the pile – Jibbering, the multi-faceted music/art promoters, are heading into double figures and will be celebrating that fact at the Hare and Hounds in Kings Heath on 14 November.

Over the years, as they say:

we have staged over 150 concerts and parties presenting the finest music Birmingham has to offer and hosting some of the most exciting live bands from further afield

Details of the night (who’s playing, etc) are on Jibbering‘s website and the Hare & Hounds‘ one too.

So big congrats to them. I’ll try and grab them for an interview at some point – if you’ve got any questions for them then please throw them in the comments below.

Tickets are £10/9 and available from the Ticketsellers.
