diy workshop

Learn or teach how to sew or crochet. You can bring old clothes for repair, upgrades or exchange! By learning how to do things ourselves we can consume less and upcycle materials available around us.

Every 4th Sunday of the month we will meet at Basta and make our creative thoughts come true by reusing materials that we find around us using all kinds of tools or so called ultimate weapons against the fashion industry.

Come by any time between 2 and 8pm and join the fun!

You can bring your own tools and materials. If you don’t have it that’s ok, we have some to share (such as sewing machine, sewing tools, crocheting needles, yarn, fabrics etc.)

There will be at least one sewing machine (maybe two) ready to use.

You can bring old clothes for an exchange, repair, upgrades and so on (so many options). This time there will be some clothes available for exchange.

Let’s share our thoughts and skills and inspire each other in fabric creation.

There will be tea, coffee and some snacks.

No entrance fee – We happily accept donations for materials, snacks and drink

Learn or teach how to make seedbombs – small balls made up of a clay, compost soil and seeds!

This time we will focus on choosing seeds of bee-friendly plants.

After we are done with seedbombs, there will be a short movie screening about the importance of seeds – SEEDS OF FREEDOM

Come and join us any time and feel free to learn or teach, discuss, have a drink, watch a movie…

No entrance fee – donations for materials, drinks, snacks are welcome!

————————————————————————————————–
What material will we use?
SEEDS
If you have some seeds that we could use, bring them!
Let’s choose our seeds carefully (bee-friendly, native plants, not GM…)
And feel free to share your knowledge on which plants are good option and what are the best areas to do seedbombing!
COMPOST SOIL
If you have some spare compost soil, you can bring it.
CLAY
We will use red powdered clay. Of course local clay is the best option. If you have it, you can bring it and share it with us.

WHY BEE-FRIENDLY SEEDBOMBS?
Honeybees are disappearing drastically around the world. And the impact honeybees have on the human population and the environment is far more crucial than we may think. They facilitate pollination for most plant life. Most of the food you consume is available because of bees.

Why bees are disappearing:

There is hope. By planting bee-friendly native plants we provide diversity and food for the bees!

*DIY Workshop: Seed exchange + starting seeds*

Join us at another DIY Workshop on the 17th of March!
We will do a seed exchange and plant some seeds as well.
We can exchange our own gardening experiences, ideas and suggestions while starting those seeds.
If you have seeds, bring them and swap it with others.
In order to start seeds, we will need compost soil and containers with drainage holes.
If you have that, you can bring it to the workshop. Otherwise we have some to share.

Want to repair your clothes? There will be a sewing machine available as usual! And a typewriter as well!

1st time at the Bijstand!!!
