Reclaiming Creative Materials with Significant Seams (PM Session)

Dive into hands-on fun exploring creative materials with cool seams in this AM sesh! Reclaiming Creative Materials with Significant Seams (AM Session) Join us in person for a hands-on volunteering 'Sew-cial' reclaiming creative materials. Significant Seams is an art for mental health and wellbeing organisation. Amongst their activities they actively 'reclaim creative materials'. - i.e. stuff that others might sideline because they think they aren't worth the effort...and put them together in kits and crafty supply packs that raises funds to enable the equal participation of people in vulnerable life moments. There is an intentional metaphor in all this. It is an interesting conversation starter: what - or who- is worth the effort, and how much? What can we do when we are limited by life circumstances? How much more fun is it it to do things together? How much does companionship help? Other questions arise too: What do we know how to do from scratch? Is that knowledge valuable? What might we like to learn, try, or do? What skills might we share? Whether you're into art, environmentalism, or just fancy socialising whilst doing something , this session is a chance to connect with others, lend a hand, and maybe even learn something new. Come ready to roll up your sleeves, help process undervalued materials, and connect with fellow creatives in a relaxed, inspiring setting. Don't miss out! This is the start of a monthly, and maybe even weekly group. The activities will vary session to session but will include rotary cutting fabric, ironing, sorting industry waste wool, packaging materials, and even, from time-to-time, trialling craft kits.
