Craft Heritage Our Year Workshop

About

Reuse, remake, recycle – we’ve always been making new stuff from old junk.


Discover more about the long history of textile recycling in Wakefield, from shoddy to Seawool.


Transform old into new as we turn tatty t-shirts into bags or bracelets.


You can bring your own t-shirt to recycle or use one of ours!


The workshop will take place in the ‘Learning Zone’ which is located within the main library space on the Upper Ground Floor of the Wakefield One building.
