We're doing it again! A banner workshop where you can create a resilient, artsy message for others to see and admire.
The workshop theme is love for nature, and climate action.
We will be cutting, stitching, sewing and printing letters onto sturdy material to hang on our fences and in our windows. Experienced banner makers will be present to get you started, and you'll be able to use Magenta's equipment (sewing machines, stencils, some paints). Textile and fabric supplies will be available but we are also counting on people to source and provide where they can. For outdoor banners, sturdy polyester works well.
The requested koha is $10 to cover costs for Magenta.
Completing your banner may take longer than four hours, so we will assess at the end of the session whether to run a third workshop.
This workshop is inspired by the “Be A Good Ancestor” banner made and displayed by local environmentalist Jenny Easton (who will be present) and you’re welcome to use these words for your own design, or come up something else.
This is a non-partisan cooperative exercise, supported by the Nelson Tasman Climate Forum, and may continue, depending on interest.
All are welcome. Register here: https://events.humanitix.com/banner-making-workshop-2-0
We've received lots of beautiful fabric for this workshop, so have plenty. Good sharp fabric scissors are helpful to bring if you have them on hand.
