Community Program Day: Workshops/Demos and Creative Conversations

Community engagement is central to The Art of ReUse, and we’re excited to give audiences the opportunity to learn and experience sustainable practices firsthand that they can implement in their everyday lives. Join us on Saturday, January 31st, for a full day of workshops, to be followed by a culminating panel discussion in the late afternoon. Sign up for individual workshops or spend the day with us!

Info: Jakia Fuller will lead workshop attendees through the mending basics of patching and darning. Attendees will learn how to make simple patches, use them to repair clothing or serve as decoration, and learn simple stitches to mend holes or add a special element to their favorite piece.

Info: This free demo provides participants an in-depth perspective into YAUDI's Garment Restoration Program which utilizes second-hand textiles as substrates for streetwear. The workshop will also feature an optional $40 starter kit that includes a t-shirt, 3 original screen printed patches, sewing supplies, and a hand sewing how-to demo for first time seamstresses. Participants are encouraged to bring their own garment for a $25 discount on the starter-kit. Starter kits are purchased on site. Reserve your spot by purchasing a free ticket. Registration is required.
