Remade

From November 2011, Christ Church Morningside will be hosting Holy Corner sessions of Remade in Edinburgh.   Remade is a community-led initiative to create a reuse and repair centre in South Edinburgh. The centre will house a series of social enterprises that convert things that would be thrown away into useful objects, training people in new skills, and promoting a zero-waste Edinburgh as an alternative to a culture of cheap disposable items.

We’ll start out with sessions every other Monday from 7-9.  Since these sessions are new, we expect what happens in them to evolve to suit the people who come.  We hope to have a range of people from the neighbourhood with many different skills who are interested in re-use, and expect to focus on textiles and other things that can be treated like them.  We’ll be blogging what we try and what the plan for the next session in – see the Remade website for details.
