Workshop at Guilford Art Center!

There's still time to sign up for my fall workshop at Guilford Art Center!

Here is a link for the full catalog (a close-up of my upcycled t-shirt rug is on the cover):

Here is the link to my class:  Creative Reuse Workshop: Let's Tackle Textile Waste

And here's the class description:

Are you tempted to toss shirts and other textiles that are either too out of style to wear or too worn out to donate? Don’t! Join Marsha Borden in a new Creative Reuse Workshop and let’s tackle textile waste together! Marsha will show you how to take t-shirts, sweaters, old sheets, and other textiles and turn them into fun wearables and home accessories. Mix and match fabrics, textures and colors, warp your own loom (the legs of a chair or even a hula hoop will do), and get weaving! For those who crochet, make drink coasters or a rug with your own t-shirt yarn. For those who hand-sew, make a patchwork scarf, a small lap blanket, or a table runner. And if you don’t sew, make clever necklaces accessorized with fabric flowers, a multi-textured garland, or a cool boho curtain to hang in any entryway. All techniques and patterns will be demonstrated/provided. Bring your own t-shirts, bedsheets, sweaters, menswear shirts, and other textiles, and join us for a playful, crafty afternoon!

Thanks for reading!
