Sunday 3rd December 2023
11am – 1pm (drop-in, members and guests only)
Here’s what it looks like:
You should bring (if you can):
- A cardboard box
- A newspaper
- A pair of rubber gloves
- Any t-shirts, clothing or other fabric (non-white, containing natural fibres) that you’d like to enhance
- Warm clothing – we’ll have the front door wide open for ventilation
What we’ll do together:
Avery will walk us through the process of designing a stencil, cutting it out, preparing the t-shirt and stencil, and spraying the bleach onto the t-shirt. Different dyes and fabrics react differently, so Avery can also share his advice and experience about that.
Dress warmly, because it’ll be cold in the space! Bring a good face mask if you’re not into the smell of bleach. If you already have stencils you want to try out for this (or share with others), feel free to bring them along!
Any natural-fibre fabric will work, but maybe bring a t-shirt that you don’t mind destroying, because as with pancakes and any other craft, the first one is always rubbish.
Who can come?
This is a members-and-guests event. That means if you want to come, you need to be a member already, or be the one guest of an existing member. Guests must be 11 or older. If you want to become a member by Sunday, email us ASAP – we can accommodate that! hello AT machspace DOT org
It’s not a private event, so the space will remain open to members and guests who want to do other activities, but please be aware that it will probably smell very bleachy in there and it might be a bit cold.
It’s free to attend, and it’s free to become a member.
