A photograph of the Dresscue space on ONCA Barge, people are sat at tables working on sewing machines whilst others stand trying on their creations or chatting together.

Dresscue is back at a new location! ONCA’s welcoming drop-in sewing space to make, mend and up-cycle textiles is now taking place at our central Brighton gallery.

 DRESSCUE IS A SPACE TO:

  • Learn new skills and share knowledge through informal learning
  • Extend the life cycles of clothing through making, mending and up-cycling
  • Make clothes that are more interesting, more beautiful, and more functional than fast fashion offers
  • Make clothes that empower and celebrate all bodies
  • Mobilise against fast fashion through sustainable practices, collaboration and dialogue
  • Meet new people in a supportive and creative environment
  • Connect with community and improve wellbeing

WHAT TO EXPECT?

  • A space to develop your own making projects
  • Technical support and advice
  • Use of ONCA’s sewing machines, overlocker, pattern cutting equipment, books and material stash
  • All levels of experience and knowledge are welcome

WHAT TO BRING?

  • Bring ideas and projects or talk to our in-house maker for suggestions and ideas
  • If you have something specific you want to make, bring patterns/ fabric or dig through our material stash
