About
Absolute Beginners is a new factory for Park Royal Industrial Estate, where young people can learn how to make basic goods in radically sustainable ways.
They run paid workshop programmes where local 17-21 year olds learn how to make an everyday project, using local, recycled materials, simple tools, and off-grid or low-carbon power. They want to build an alternative, low-impact economy, where young people make and use the things they need ourselves.
Absolute Beginners wants to work with local young people to do this, to help them gain the skills and confidence they need to set up their own businesses, and empower them to tackle climate change. And they want to open up a space to talk about where our stuff comes from, how we consume, and how we might build a new economy, fit for a world in a climate emergency.
