Description

Be inspired to create cool hand sewn patches to mend your clothes & reduce waste, with local upcycler Helen of ‘Reclothe’. If you have clothing you want to sew patches onto please bring them.

Drop in on Wednesdays to make art in a relaxed, fun environment. Use the studio supplies for your own projects, get advice from friends, or dive into the ‘project of the week’ with the help of a Gallery facilitator or guest artist. Experiment with different materials, hang out with friends, and join our creative community. Don’t miss out on the creative vibes and great company!
