Happy First Birthday to us!
As you may already know, FORT is a non-profit, sober, queer, trauma-informed tattoo and print studio in Stoke Newington, London. We opened on the 29th of May 2023, and are celebrating our first birthday this year. On the 27th of May 2024 we are having a tattoo flash day and then an artists’ open studio during the evening, where you can come and hang out and celebrate with us.
We're an entirely community founded and funded organisation, so have very limited funds and would love to look to our community to help us continue the work we have been doing. We need a few bits that are things people often have going spare, so we're asking if you'll be able to bring/donate any of the following items, in return for a beautiful A3 Riso print. You can bring as many things as you want that fit the list, and we're encouraging people to bring items they already own, but if you feel the urge to purchase any of the things on this list for the space that's also gratefully accepted.
We need lamps and lighting, doesn't have to look like this but something small that could sit on or clamp to a shelf
We have plenty of other cutlery, but most of our forks appear to have left the premises.
The studio gets pretty hot in the summer and we could really use an unit or two to help alleviate that
Floor standing ring lights to use with tattooing
Hanging plant baskets/pots or macrame plant pot holders
If anyone is feeling extra generous and has an iPad they don't use (something that can be used with a pen/procreate), we would love to have a spare or two for workshops/training and as backups
Plug in (not battery) and the longer the better
A4 or bigger, so we can protect all our glorious art when we hang it!
Ideally pleather or something with a removable cover that can be easily cleaned
Pens, pencils, paper, sketch pads, paints, anything that's in decent condition and wants to be made into art
Space heaters of any kind as long as their electrics are safe! V Important! We need to keep people warm and comfortable in all seasons.
Desk and floor fans welcome. Also very important, so people are comfortable in the summer.
We need wall clocks so we don’t lose track of time, especially when tattooing.
Power tools or manual, we love them all. Think hammers, screwdrivers, pliers, spanners, wrenches, drills and drill bits etc
We need a screen that has a working HDMI connection, if you have one to spare
