We Craft This City
Object Gallery
Saturday 02 October 2010 to Sunday 10 October 2010
Opening Saturday 02 October 2010 11am – 5pm
For one week, Object Gallery will become a live workshop and making space occupied by creative individuals and collectives. Produced by Kate Ford, We Craft This City is a celebration of DIY culture, weaving together craft process and social commentary.
An intensive making period will mark the beginning of this gallery occupation, and you are invited to contribute to the outcome. Donate materials, learn and share skills, make and be merry.

Craft Cartel
Ebony Bizys (Hello Sandwich)
Knitty Gritty & Loopy
