About the event
We all have textiles that are no longer useful, but hate the idea of throwing them away. Learn how to upcycle the ubiquitous fabric of denim at our Upcycled Denim Workshop! You will turn denim into beautiful flowers using both the raw edge wabi-sabi and beeswax coated methods. You will have the opportunity to make and take home several flowers which can be bundled into a bouquet, or worn as a decorative pin.
Denim will be provided, but if you want to bring your own, please do! Take your flowers and the skills you learned home and give that pile of old clothes a new life by turning it into something beautiful and neat.
Light refreshments will be served.
Space is limited, please register in advance!
