What is being asked for

The cost of materials to build a press, is it unknown what the cost may be, as of yet, will be considered at a later date

Why/how this will be good to have

Lottie and Victoria would both use this as they make jewellery and accessories from acrylic and this is something they have both wanted to do and Victoria asked about this when she joined a couple months ago

They are not aware of anyone in Norwich who have this facility to make this to make this so it would be unique to us

The heat press could also be used for I heat pressing screenprinted garments this will seal the ink and make them wash fast so suitable for wearing etc

This heat press could also go alongside the scary looking plastic macerator, Giving it a new lease of live. using the heat press we could actually make new unique materials Suitable for laser cutting

We will be recycling any offcuts which Would just be left in the workshop or would be binned so this will free up space and also help people make new work

Who is for it

For everyone to use: Victoria Catten Lottie Toby C Peter H Marion Alan And others have expressed keen interest
