Neuk Aberdeen Drop-In: Mend and repair clothing workshop

Free but booking required Join us for our monthly Neuk Aberdeen Drop-Ins, a fun and informative crafting session at the Out the Box Crafts studio, learning appliqué techniques to mend your clothing with. Our team will be there to help you get creative and express yourself whilst making a simple yet versatile patch re-using scrap fabric that can transform holes into features and prolong the life of your clothing. All necessary materials will be provided, so that you can just get stuck in and enjoy creating something unique using simple hand sewing techniques. No previous experience is required, and our friendly team will be on hand to demonstrate using interfacing and fabric to create funky patches to take home. This is a free meet-up for Aberdeen based neuro-divergent artists and creatives. It is not necessary to have a formal diagnosis and you do not need to consider yourself a professional artist. Venue and Accessibility Out the Box Crafts studio is accessible by 9 external stairs to the basement door. Once inside, it is all on one level and there is a gender neutral toilet on the premises. The studio can be chilly for some so please dress warmly. There is also bright office lighting if you are sensitive to this then light filtering glasses / sunglasses are recommended. There are two breakout spaces if you need a break from the main group and headphones are welcome. We are a covid conscious venue and run an air purifier in the space but we would ask that if you are experiencing Covid 19 symptoms or if you have been in contact with someone who has been unwell, to please mask if possible or let us know so we have the choice to mask. The venue can be reached by public transport, buses stop on Albyn Place and nearby on Holburn Street. Numbers 1, 2, 11, 5 and 23 are all a few metres walk from the studio. There is also limited free parking in the car park at the front of the venue and on street car parking on the streets outside the venue some of which are free on Sundays.
