Venue: MAKE Southwest
Suitable for: Teenagers
Level: Beginner
Are you aged between 13 - 16 years old? Come along to a FREE Textile workshop as a 'taster' for our next National Saturday Club due to commence in September 2023.
Have a go at the 'Trouser Leg Challenge' in this National Saturday Club taster workshop as part of our Green Maker Initiative Craft Fair.
Explore and experiment with what you can create from using only a pair of trousers!
Corsets, Skirts, dresses, rucksacks, tote bags....With expert guidance from two up-cycling designer-makers you will be shown some simple sewing and pattern cutting techniques which will vary depending on what project you decided to concentrate on.
As well as trousers to be used, there will be ribbons and eyelets, beads, paints, vinyl and fabric off cuts which will be available for you to decorate your creations.
This workshop will be lead by Abigail Schaefer and Alice Woods.
You will also have a short introduction to the National Saturday Club programme from our learning officer Ian Wilkins.
The MAKE Southwest Craft & Making Saturday Club is a free programme of workshops for young people aged 13 - 16 years old.
We are looking to support the next generation of crafts people and our Club provides a small and friendly environment for young makers to explore their creativity through a range of craft disciplines.
All participants are encouraged to take part in the bronze Arts Award and support is given throughout the Club programme to complete this qualification.
Due to the limited number of participants, we are only allowing two tickets per household for our taster morning.
This taster workshop and our next Saturday Club programme has been generously funded and supported by the Ashley Foundation.
