SAVE OUR OLD TOWN!

Hello all! Some of you may have bumped into the lovely people from the Save Our Old Town (SOOT) campaign during the DiY gathering. They are looking to finish their handmade community banner. These banners are wonderful creations of communities, that create visual and directly physical works of peoples' histories and connection, as well as retaining practical skills and sharing connections to each other and to time spent creating. Please get in touch with them and help finish the banner and maybe start a new one!

see you next time!

Well, the weekend of DiY good times has come to an end.
Thanks so much to everyone who held workshops, came to the Zine-o-rama, performed, volunteered, made coffees... for making this such a great weekend. Special thanks to The Forest Cafe, The Roxy, and ACE for hosting events. Stay tuned for more fun DiY times in Edinburgh...

There are more and more DiY festivals and skillshares popping up all over the place... check out the May event in Newcastle: diyayefest.wordpress.com.

Some photos may be posted soon.

See you next time!
