Red Roots is a center for arts and social change located in the South Bronx. We coordinate a variety of arts workshops, political events and educational resources to help build sustainable, self-determined communities in New York City.
Hours:
Monday: 12pm - 7pm
Tuesday: 12pm - 7pm
Wednesday: 12pm - 7pm
Thursday and Friday nights for special events!
If Red Roots has been looking snazzy lately, it's because the crew has been doing fix-its: caulking leaks in the roof, installing our sign and makeshift gutter (minus a drain spout), building a new utility shelf and zine racks, setting up new computers in the space, and organizing / alphabetizing the lending library.
T-shirts are a great gift for friends or family! At this workshop you will print your own custom t-shirts based on a graphic or graphics of your choice. Instead of screen printing, which can produce many shirts in one or very few colors, this workshop will use a "sublimation" method that's good for short runs of complex, color-rich designs.
Have you ever wanted to make your own journal, sketch pad or hand-bound book? This workshop will provide an introduction to the art of book binding. Participants will become familiar with the basic tools, materials, and techniques.
Come with creative energy and ideas, leave with your own handmade book! Everything you need will be provided for use during the workshop.
Please see our directions page to learn how to get to Red Roots.
