I’d like to propose two (probably weekend) camps to be held at the Centre for Creative Collaboration sometime before the end of May. As always I’m canvassing general support before fixing a time – so let me know if you’d like to be involved firstly and secondly which weekend you’d like to do them on.
TuttleCamp
We talked about this a while ago, but I feel the need to have at least a day of discussion about what we’ve actually created here and what we do with it next. For me this comes down to “How do we continue to do cool stuff *and* generate enough revenue to pay basic bills” but I think it’s also about what is the whole thing for, how do we think it’s going, what sorts of things do we want to do now that we have access to the C4CC space for a while. I’m thinking this is just one day, but open to the possibility of actually camping overnight here and carrying on on Sunday morning too.
SoftFurnishingsCamp/NestFeatheringCamp
This idea came up when we were confronted with the stark white walls and floors of the Centre for Creative Collaboration. How do we make it more comfy? We also had a #tuttle before Christmas where a bunch of knitter/crochet/crafters turned up and did their thing in the corner. I think it would be lovely to spend a Saturday feathering our nest – bring fabrics and other materials and let’s make some stuff to allow the space to be used without us all getting stiff backs. Open again on whether one day or two days for this.
#Nestcamp sounds rather like #Freecyclecamp. I think we managed to furnish our entire house in Canada for $30. We ended up with 8 couches. Was a bit of a pain when we came to leave.
I’d love to come to Tuttlecamp. I’ve spent the last few months answering those kind of questions for myself. Doing it en masse for Tuttle would be rather like group therapy.
http://www.TRUSTlibrary.org would like to help.
Very happy to offer my soft furnishings skills for a soft furnishing camp. If someone can drive me there, I’ll even bring my sewing machine (it’s too heavy for me to carry on public transport).
