We've got a BADGE MAKER and we know how to use it! 

We also have stacks of materials to create neat zines and blow up your sketchbook! 

This monthly meet up is a great opportunity to hang out and make stuff with other creative folk. We are asking for a small donation of £2 to help cover the use of materials  but if you can't afford it, that's ok!

Our cafe bar will be open and there will also be a tasty PAYF (pay as you feel) hot dish on the menu so dinners sorted too!
