  • Re-SPARKLE! and SewVember

    TTT’s last two monthly public sessions in Tooting have both been         all about making – creating things, making time with other people, learning some new skills.

    SewVember was a great success, and here’s some pictures from last Saturday’s Reduce, Re-use, Re-Sparkle! crafts event run together with colleagues in the beautiful Tooting Library:

     
    You’ll see we made bird decorations, reindeer, wallets from juice cartons, scrap paper bags for gifts (or to keep), and small worlds in jam jars….and more. We’ll post a slide show of more photos soon…it was a great afternoon, and thanks to all the helpers and participants.
    Looking forward to the next time!

  • Winter Social & Making Event

    On Tuesday 7th Dec there will be an opportunity to catch up and socialise at the Winter Social & Making evening.  Experts will be on hand to assist you in creating beautiful festive decorations and unique gifts from recycled materials.  Learn how to make greetings cards (bring old cards or pictures), wallets & purses (bring tetrapak!), juggling balls (bring old socks!), pomanders, bags & flip-flops (bring an old pair of jeans) and mincemeat!  You can even have a go at knitting!  
    Why trek round your local globalised shopping experience when you could make your own Christmas presents?!  See above some of the fab potato printed bags, for example, fashioned under the guidance of Ken McCalla at this year’s Foodival

    Bring food or drink to share – mulled wine and soft drinks will be provided at the Christian Education Centre, 21 Tooting Bec Rd. See you there!
