And remember, if you’re involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here!

DESTASH & CHARITY SALE – Art, Craft Supplies & More!
Saturday 9th November from 1-5pm at DoES Liverpool
1st Floor, Tapestry Building, 68-76 Kempston St, L3 8HL
Join us for a special destash sale organised by two former business owners who are opening their collections to the creative community.
This unique “pay as you feel” event features a treasure trove of art supplies, craft materials, books, clothing, and select furniture pieces.
What to Expect:
• Organic knit & woven fabrics
• Selection of haberdashery
• Art and craft supplies
• Books, magazines and patterns
• Vintage and designer clothing
• Office and home furniture
• miscellaneous items
All items in good condition and ready for their next creative home
This isn’t just a sale – it’s an opportunity to give these materials a second life while supporting important causes. While we’re operating on a “pay as you feel” basis, we kindly ask visitors to consider the value of the items and their contribution to our chosen charities.
We will hopefully be joined on the day by some others also sharing the space to sell their stashes too.
More info and details of all those who are participating and which charities they have chosen will be confirmed very soon.
So please check back for any updates over the next few days.
Perfect for:
• Artists and crafters
• Creative enthusiasts
• Small business owners
• DIY lovers
• Conscious shoppers
Every purchase helps support our designated charities while ensuring these quality materials find new homes where they’ll be appreciated and used.

| Sunday 10 November, 2:00pm-5:00pm | Plastic Playgroup (DoES Workshop) In a world with mountains of plastic and molehills of play, let’s get our spades out and shift the balance.Make new things from abandoned plastic with us. Plantpots, purses … pedalos?Shred plastic. Blend it. Meld scraps together with a heat gun. Make sheets. Laser cut it. CNC it. Stitch potato bags together with soldering iron? Make fabrics with a regular iron? What have we got, what can we make? We don’t know – let’s figure it out! Two rules: 1. No Objectives – this is an aimless and wandering session. 2. Bring Your Own Initiative – this is an active session and we’ll help you get creative. Every two weeks on a Sunday afternoon, between 2pm and 5pm.Facilitated by Plastic Tactics – follow on social for the latest updates, and to see what we make if you can’t be here in person: http://instagram.com/plastacs http://twitter.com/plastacs http://facebook.com/plastictacticsliverpool |
