This April we’ll be taking our Rejig vintage hand-sewing machines on the road once again, to take part in Maker Faire UK! This exciting event runs across the weekend of 28th-29th April, in the Life Science Centre, Newcastle.

It promises to be a fun- and fact-filled event, chock to the brim with making, crafting, coding, and marvelling at all manner of exciting and unusual things. We’re pretty lucky that it happens so nearby, too, as exhibitors attend from all over the country, keen to show off what makes them tick.

We’re looking for volunteers to help out on the Rejig stall with us. If you’d like to lend a few hours and take part in a brilliantly creative weekend, please get in touch! Otherwise, do call by our stall to say hello. We’ll be making and distributing some funky Morsbags – so come and help us to banish those plastic shopping bags to the depths of history!

About the Artist

Rosi Thornton is a visual artist based in Darlington, in the north east of England. Her interests combine pattern, print, colour, and cloth, which she uses creatively in textiles, quilts, printmaking, and handmade books.

She believes passionately in recycling, skill-sharing, and art within communities, and started REJIG as a way of drawing these related interests together into a creative whole.
