Workshops and Training - Design & Reuse

Workshops and Training

Riversmeet run workshops with the community on practical techniques  with creative people. The workshops provide a supportive environment with access to equipment, expertise and materials for people to play, chat and make. So far we have run workshops to make: Ukulele from scrap, creative clothes & accessories, upholstery, Christmas and festival decorations, learn to knitting…..

If you have talents to share, would like to learn a new skill or have materials to donate get in touch (reuse@riversmeet.org) or drop by the Riversmeet Community Resource.  Riversmeet are using Upcycling to transform the interior of the building.
