The Makerspace

Be the solution, not the pollution!

Are you interested in being part of a collaborative workspace where individuals come together to solve problems related to waste textiles and creativity?

A place where we actively collaborate on solutions to address our throwaway culture, develop new ways of working, and help create a local supply chain and circular, hand-made economy.

 

At our Makerspace, you can learn how to fix damaged clothing or textile items or even upcycle them into something new and unique.

 

Our primary objective is encouraging people to choose better-quality products, care for their belongings, and reduce waste.

 

We believe in the power of community. We are passionate about creating a space where like-minded individuals can come together, learn, share their skills, and contribute to a better future for all. 

Workspace Rentals:

$15/hr, with access to sewing machines, cutting tools, workstation, and worktable.
