Exeter Library is hosting the latest in its series of Library Lates events on Saturday 23 March. The evening includes live music, creative workshops and games with drinks served by Bar Nova.

Double Elephant Print Workshop is running a session using rubber stamp and screen-printing techniques to create a giant collaborative print.

Artist Sarah McFloof will host a ceramic pebble-painting workshop, Richard Rochester will demonstrate charcoal drawing techniques and crafter and theatre-maker Emma Baskeyfield will guide groups in constructing castles made from cardboard.

Other craft and making activities will be hosted by Dragon Making, Papr Pattern, FabLab and the Exeter librarians.
