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

Sessions are by donation to ONCA. Everything raised will help us to continue, and expand, ONCA’s work. If you have questions ahead of a session please email  or call 01273 607101.
