About the event:
Each month a community member will volunteer to share a skill with others! Workshops will be 2 hours long (10 AM to 12 PM).
This month we will learn upcycle clothing with Jess Sampson of Kaleido Threads! Using fabric paint, you can learn to give your clothes a unique look or give them a second life! We will also have fabric patches that you can paint on (which you can sew to your clothes if you wish). If you have clothes that you would like to paint, you can also bring those (ideal materials: cotton, denim, linen).
Coffee, tea, juice, and light pastries (contain gluten) are provided. Materials and supplies provided.
I want to lead a future skill share workshop! How do I sign up?
You can express your interest by filling out the google form here.
