Join us in creating the first community managed ‘give-get’ library in Essex, celebrating Colchester craft and exploring making.
This facility will host specialist books, an online directory of local makers, extensive learning materials and a Trade School, where you can barter and learn new skills (for some serious fun), share your own skills, improve your practice, meet other creatives or explore a new career in the art of making.
A community managed 'give-get' library works on the basis that those who use it also contribute it. By sharing our knowledge, expertise and resources we are able to grow as a community and increase both our individual and group potentials.
