Rather than wasting your money in the shops, look no further than the back of your wardrobe for that old shirt. Bring it along to our creative workshop to discover inspiring ways to create a fresh look, or a lovely gift from the things you already have.

The ‘Upcycling’ workshop is being held on Monday 31 Oct from 12.30 to 4.30 pm at the Southwark Integrated Waste Management Facility, hosted by Veolia Southwark and Love Your Clothes, as part of the Recycle for London campaign. The workshop will follow an introductory site tour of the plant.

Learn from the experts, share sewing, repair, and upcycling skills creating something new from that unloved old shirt. Getting creative with your clothes isn’t just about saving cash: it can give you a fabulous style or unique gift that nobody else can match.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided. Spaces are limited so please RSVP to jeyda.keski@veolia.com by Friday 28 October 2016.

Don’t forget to bring with you a shirt you’d like to upcycle!
