Check out this workshop!WHAT: This Skill Share will allow participants to learn basic concepts of sewing and mending their clothes. We will create space for discussion to develop better textile material awareness in understanding what kinds of materials go into our clothes, and encourage attendees on how to style and share our sense of fashion in a way that is not only eco-friendly but also budget-conscious!WHY: Californians throw away 1.2 million tons of textiles a year, and San Franciscans send 4,500 pounds of textiles to landfill every hour. How can we practice repairing clothes to make them live longer?Please bring an item to mend! For example, a piece of clothing, a cloth bag! Or bring an item to swap! If you are looking to give away a piece of clothing that no longer suits you, feel free to bring it to the clothing swap.RSVP required. Limited spots.Free and open to all.Donations are welcome.**Suggested donation $10-$25: Let’s envision the arts ecosystem together, where art and community flourish side by side. Your support matters!This community event is part of Berkeley Art Center's new initiative, Open Center: Artists & Community, and features programming selected through an open call to support community-engaged art and dialogue. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/91291230-37f1-11f1-8dfe-373c02824b1c-rimg-w740-h740-dc494647-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/91641f60-37f1-11f1-be24-83784ced8d65-rimg-w1200-h600-dce0d9c4-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/berkeley/open-center-no-buy-your-wardrobe/100001987299999796 - **Event Categories**: art, nonprofit, workshops, exhibitions, it - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Berkeley - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Berkeley Art Center - **lat**: 37.884503 - **long**: -122.268191 - **full address**: Berkeley Art Center, 1275 Walnut Street, Berkeley, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: OPEN CENTER: No Buy Your Wardrobe - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/e5f615ac765a0dc526b580264e4107b4f8b744e7d13003cb52cdc14cfe96f627-rimg-w1200-h600-dc2d2d2e-gmir.jpg?v=1776164611 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is OPEN CENTER: No Buy Your Wardrobe being held? - **A:** OPEN CENTER: No Buy Your Wardrobe takes place on Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 03:00 pm to Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 05:00 pm at Berkeley Art Center, 1275 Walnut Street, Berkeley, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing OPEN CENTER: No Buy Your Wardrobe? - **A:** OPEN CENTER: No Buy Your Wardrobe is organized by Berkeley Art Center. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
