"Imagine an urban habitat for people like to tinker with a bit of ironmongery and a lot of imagination, a new kind of social space combining creative and practical skills. Our sheds are welcoming social spaces where you can learn both creative and practical skills. Drop in to a shed and you’ll find our team of artists and technicians happy to help you hem your trousers, reupholster a sofa, turn a bicycle into a chandelier, or build a spaceship with your kids."It's a marvellous idea and one I hope you will all support - find more information here and here. Pictured below is the first shed, the Whitechapel Shed with window display by artist and designer Umut Yamac.
Here's how you can help: they need equipment, tools, furniture, volunteers, teachers, tehcnicians, books about art/craft/design/DIY and most importantly of all, they'd really like a small shed inside the workshops. If you could donate one or know somebody else who could, please get in touch with them or with us here at Shedworking.
