Description
Join us and get to grips with clothes upcycling.
Transform your clothes with patches for a unique, personalised look or try safety pins for creative designs and practical fixes.
Get inspired, share ideas and relax with free refreshments as you get to know your new coursemates.
No experience necessary – just drop in. We’ll provide second-hand tees and tote bags but you’re more than welcome to bring your own items and give them a new lease of life.
Just turn up and join in! This event is free to attend and open to all UWE Bristol students.
