Are you looking for a fun and sustainable way to refresh your wardrobe?

Join in our Clothes Swap on Saturday 17th May, where you can exchange up to 10 freshly laundered and gently used clothing items, shoes, or accessories that you no longer wear but are still in good condition.

Overview of the day:

10am - 10:30am : Clothes Swap Check-in

Meet our volunteers at the check-in counter to exchange up to 10 items for the equivalent number of tokens (these will be used later to go “shopping”!)
While everyone checks-in and the items are being sorted and hung, you can explore the nearby Wallsend Op Shop Trail, grab a coffee or bite to eat, or opt-in to an upcycled jewellery making workshop with AMS Art Studio!

10:30am - 11:30am : Upcycled Jewellery Making Workshop (opt-in when purchasing tickets)

Add a creative touch to your Clothes Swap experience by joining us after drop off for this special one-hour jewellery-making workshop hosted by the AMS Art Studio crew!
What's Included:
- A treasure trove of preloved jewellery, beads, leather offcuts, charms, and fixtures—all yours to use.
- Expert guidance if you're new to jewellery making or upcycling.
- The opportunity to make beaded jewellery, statement earrings, one-of-a-kind pendants and whatever else your creative heart desires.
