WORKSHOP: Creative Upcycling Wednesday 6th November 4-6pm

£0.00

Join us for a hands-on upcycling workshop where you’ll learn how to breathe new life into old clothing items. This session will focus on using scrap fabrics, collage techniques, and bonding methods to customise garments and create unique, personalised fashion pieces. No prior sewing experience is necessary – just bring your creativity and an item of clothing you’d like to transform! 

If you are a beginner with no experience, our textiles facilitator Saskia Singer can assist you to design and upcycle an old loved garment through applique and painting methods. A relaxed and informal session we have space for x8 participants each week. Over 25 and looking to get involved? Join in as a volunteer to share your skills (even if it’s just tidying up!) sew along and make use of the workspace facilities.
