Share Shop Visual Inventory Digital Haiku
Fancy helping bring our Share Shop to life?
We’re inviting local volunteers to take part in the Share Shop Visual Inventory Digital Haiku Inclusion Project at What if? Across a small number of friendly, supported sessions, you’ll help prepare the Share Shop, learn simple creative documentation skills, and build a playful digital visual inventory of our creative surplus materials, ready for the community to benefit from them in the future!
Think photos, short videos, textures and details with a tiny Digital Haiku to celebrate each item.
