Upcycled Fabric Baskets Workshop

Join CSSC in their mission to craft a sustainable future in a brand new workshop that explores using scrap textiles to create upcycled fabric baskets. You'll use salvaged ropes, scrap fabrics and old clothing, and spend the day meditatively coiling and stitching our vessels,  wrapping and stitching as you go using strips of salvaged fabric. As your baskets start to take shape you'll look at how to control the width and angle of the walls to create your choice of bowl or basket. Curate your own colour palette, in subtle matching hues or bright contrast to create a simple and sustainable vessel for your home – perfect for storing your craft materials, or to start a scrap collection to make your next basket with! We’ll work on domestic scale vessels within the workshop, but once you have mastered the technique you can go on to create more ambitious projects at home, such as rugs and wall hangings!

No previous sewing or knitting experience is necessary. Up-cycling is for everyone!
