Parents and Children can join us for an after school session of making upcycled projects from textiles, revamping old clothes, making new things from fabric and experimenting with decoration and repair techniques.
Sessions will mostly be suitable for children aged 7 upwards. Sessions must be booked in advance as space is limited.
An adult is expected to stay in the session to create alongside the child, offering assistance, support and encouragement where needed.
Some of the activities we could explore during our sessions (specific activities will be announced the beginning of that week) :

T-shirt refashion
How to make T-shirt yarn
Weave/braid a table mat or rug
Make a dog toy
Bike streamers
T-shirt shopping bags
Upcycled junk jewellery
Simple fabric printing/painting
Make your own headband or hair clip
Pillow case dresses
Make a simple cushion/ cushion cover
Simple hand embroidery
Simple hand applique/patching

If you have any ideas on what you’d like to re-make or upcycle with your child, please let us know.
This workshop is funded by Scottish Government Climate Challenge Fund.
