Feel free to bring your crafting projects and supplies or use what we have available for a donation supporting 395. Limited crafting supplies available. All supplies and material donations are welcome.
Pirata will be providing our tasty lunch for the afternoon! Food will be served from 2 pm - 6 pm.
Wait, what's happening to 395?
395 have recently gone through a full review of their Premises Licence (for events and alcohol) by Bristol Licensing Authorities. Despite the hearing going in their favour and still having their full licence, there is a new condition added to their licence, requiring them to make a £20,000 investment into their soundproofing by December 31st, 2024. Additionally, they have agreed to pay their solicitors £4,200 by August for representing them at the licence review.
395’s mission fosters ongoing communication, aspiring to work together and provide a safe and enriching experience to all collectives. Help 395 stay open and continue to platform creativity and community with no barriers!
What is Kraft-Tek?
Kraft-Tek aims to be an inclusive rave-themed sober crafting and up-cycling community, promoting skill sharing, safe and responsible drug and alcohol use, peace, love, unity and respect.
Each session will be open to crafters of any skill level, providing a comfortable open space to work on any personal craft projects, accompanied by electronic music DJs. In addition, the event will also include a workshop focusing on different crafting skills utilising and re-using old materials to create and re-work clothes, accessories or decor.
What kind of craft supplies and activities do you have?
If you don't have a piece to work on we will have tote bags available to up-cycle, accessorise and style with a variety of materials (subject to availability; including but not limited to):
- paint
- fabric
- scraps
- buttons
- ribbon
- wool
- embroidery hoops, thread and needles
- stencils
- materials to make recyclable and reusable stamps
- pipe cleaners
- sewing equipment
In addition, there will be a raffle to win a t-shirt from @Spikey.garms (ig)!
So, who is playing?
