skills swap shop!!

So, im a textiles student at the college of art and design in dundee and along with a group of other students Im organising an exhibition/series of workshops entitled Skills Swap Shop. Our idea came from our reactions to increased emphasis on theory and digitalisation in the college but also more generally in society, and what we would like to do is invite people to share basic hand skills that maybe not everybody knows how to do, to teach to other people.. and maybe those other people know something they want to share and so on and so forth..
Why do you care? Well, if you have something that you would like to share, anything at all, that you could teach in an hour to an afternoon, and you can get to dundee we would LOVE you to be involved. And if not please come and learn something! From the 20th to the 24th of october, in the Lower Foyer Gallery in the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design. Please get in touch!! Thanks, Ruth
