Merseyway Community Workshop
We need your help to transform an old shoe shop in the heart of Stockport's pedestrianised high-street, into a public space for creative hands-on workshops and community engaged activities!
About the Project Creator
Easy Peel Studio CIC is a community focussed design studio working in various disciplines and platforms, to engage, develop and collaborate. We specialise in community engagement, public installation and product design
Throughout our projects we aim to engage with people from all walks of life; open young people's eyes to opportunities in the art world, re-engage more isolated elderly communities and generate interest from new/unexpected audiences.
We will be working alongside Plastic Shed, a Stockport based Community Benefit Society, who provide opportunities for the whole community to work together to turn plastic waste into new, useful things. From wallets made from waste plastic packaging to tiles made from shredded bottle caps - they are exploring the possibilities of this abundant waste material, sharing their learnings, equipment and facilities and bringing people together to tackle this shared problem. You can find out more about their work here: www.plasticshed.org
Our objectives lie solely within the community itself. Helping to build better relationships between one-another through social and collective hands-on making.
