MotherSHOP: The Bristol Bike Project

As the last DIY event at SHOP in February, MotherSHOP this week is: The Bristol Bike Project.

The Bristol Bike Project is a volunteer-run, community bike project that repairs and recycles unwanted bicycles in order to provide free bikes to underprivileged groups in Bristol. The T-shirt has been designed and produced to help the project.

The T-shirts are in organic cotton and are made and printed by howies.

So far, only 30 have been made, Bristol Bike Project has given 12 to its volunteers and the rest are available for you at SHOP!

New Stuff!

SHOP got some presents today. Loads of new women's clothing, plenty of men's and some choice pieces of homeware too. Lucky, lucky SHOP.

WorkSHOP: Who Got Knitted?

Saturday was another especially lovely day at SHOP towers with our Knitting WorkSHOP run by Shop Club member and all round stitching expert Anne Wilson. Two beginners now have woolly hearts and another attendee finished off two scarves that had been hanging around the house for way too long. All those people who missed out but wished to attend, fear not as this will hopefully become a more regular event in the future!

InsaneoZine Launch Evening.

With just a day to discuss, draw and print InsaneoZine succesfully launched on Wednesday night at SHOP. The organisers put posters aroung U.W.E and then sat tight to see if anyone would turn up and contribute....they did and the project was a massive success!

SHOP will be selling InsaneoZine until the end of D-I-Y month February, so come and have a look.

SHOP Leaflet.

Intrigued by SHOP? This handy new leaflet will explain all. On the advice of our Advisory Board we have rustled up a little pamphlet to introduce people new and old to our little SHOP.

SHOP Merchandise Is Here!

For all you SHOP fans out there you can now broadcast your allegiance to the world proudly across your chest, or you can send someone a message about how much you love SHOP on a glossy official postcard!

The SHOP birds have fluttered their tiny wings and settled all over our new badges and postcards...
