On October 14th, the newly formed OPIRG working group; the Do-It-Yourself Collective gathered for their first workshop which was all about paper art. People collaged, made magnets, bookmarks; really anything you could do with paper. A few new faces showed up to the event and contributed ideas for future workshops and discussions about how to foster DIY culture. All the DIY workshops include hand made crafts that you can take home right after the workshops. No skills are needed and there are little to no costs involved for the workshops.
The DIY Collective has an excellent line up of events including:
October 29th, 5pm: Jam Making Workshop - learn all the skills you will need to make jam and other basic preserving skills from experienced jam makers in the Niagara region. Limited supplies available. Fruit and jars will be provided, but to ensure that you have your own jar to take home, bring one with you.
November 5th, 5pm: Stuff Swap - you don't need to go to the store to get new stuff, you can get it from other people, who are giving it away for free; bring your stuff to trade with other people and go home with a new wardrobe and then some.
