Put a spring in your step (and your shelves) by clearing out a few pieces of unused craft materials and tools. Or start a new season with a new project, with plenty of materials, wools, scrapbook embellishments, bits and pieces and patterns to catch the eye, already available!

On Tuesday 19th March, join us for an in-person swapshop on campus! The whole afternoon we'll have a place for you to drop off any unwanted materials, tools, WIPs or patterns, and pick up anything else that catches your eye. All crafts and creative outlets are welcome here, from those scraps of wool or felt and loose bobbins filling your drawers, all the way through to hammers and chisels, posh paints, 3D printing supplies, or sewing machines!

Anything left at the end of the day can either be collected by 16:10 or will be sorted and donated to appropriate local charities, groups and organisations. If you know of or have links to a local group you think would appreciate some additional materials, please drop Hannah Rosbrook-Brown a message on Teams.

If you have a bit of stuff to donate, but can't make it on the day, please contact Hannah Rosbrook-Brown to arrange a drop-off at a time that suits you.

If you have some heavier or more bulky bits, you are welcome to put together a poster or flyer instead, with your contact details to arrange a swap at an easier time and place.

Please note that this is a place for free swaps. If you have anything that you would like cash for, we recommend you use other routes for selling, such as the staff noticeboard, or the Swapshop channel on our Staff Craft and Creativity Teams site.

If you already have a new home for some kit but haven't managed to sort out a time to swap, you are welcome to use this swap shop afternoon, with space for clearly labelled collections and drop-offs welcome (though we are unable to handle any money on your behalf).
