Weekend Workshop


So happy to be featured here (from Guilford Art Center):

Tackling Textile Waste

It was just reported in a NYT article, "How Fast Fashion is Destroying the Planet", that more than 60% of fabric fibers are now synthetic, made from fossil fuels, and when/if they end up in a landfill, they will not decay.

One way to combat this waste is to reuse your clothing. Don't toss things out because they're worn or out of style - turn them into new wearables and accessories! 

We'll show you how in the "Creative Reuse" workshop this weekend (Sunday, Oct 27) 12-4pm. Instructor: Marsha Borden. All techniques and patterns will be demonstrated/provided. Bring your own materials and enjoy a playful, crafty and fashion-filled afternoon!
