A new home for spoken word on the Isle of Wight

The collective is formed of a group of young writers and performers who meet most Thursday evenings to create, experiment and develop their craft, under guidance from established and celebrated poets.

A collaboration between Ventnor Exchange and champion of the Island’s poetry scene King Stammers, this is a new platform to experiment, explore, and develop your work in a supportive environment.

Want clothing that fits you and expresses your unique style? Say goodbye to fast fashion and start creating your own garments, with the support of fellow sewists and knitters.

Slow Fashion Makers is a monthly get-together to share skills and experiences on the journey to achieving a hand-crafted wardrobe that will be the envy of family and friends.Join us on Saturday 7 March, from 2pm-5pm at the Ventnor Exchange in Church Street, with subsequent sessions held 2pm-5pm on the second Saturday of the month.

Whether you want to try your hand at making a garment for the first time, be more mindful about your fashion choices, or you want support to be more adventurous with your sewing or knitting projects, all are welcome. We have lots of exciting ideas covering everything from fitting adjustments and problem solving, learning new techniques and up-skilling, to refashioning and up-cycling.
