WORKSHOPS AT THE MAKESHOP

WHAT’S HAPPENING AND HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED?

The Neighbourhood Makeshop is a collaborative community space open for all who have dreams of DIY, are inspired to upcycle, and want to get creative with craft. Responding to residents’ requests, it’s your local workshop with an extensive library of tools, specialist equipment, and materials and space to make, seeking people with projects to bring the space alive!

Sign up for our sessions here.

WHO IS LEADING THE WORKSHOPS?

The workshops are delivered and facilitated by artist and community organiser Caitlin Strongarm.

A bit about the artist:
Hi! I’m Caitlin, or Caito; an anti-capitalist artist, community organiser, facilitator and maker. I’m a self-taught, curious and inventive DIYer who loves to explore creative-reuse of all manner of materials and mediums; sewing and textiles, wood and metalworking, paint, clay, plastic junk… I love to play with it all and see what can be made! I facilitate accessible workshops where anyone can come and develop their own makings skills, and curate immersive spaces for communities to connect and collaborate together.

This October in the Makeshop we are teaching DIY skills, getting started on our own projects, and playing with craft in some half-term activities! These workshops are for adults (18+), and you can sign up here
