Textiles 101 Pop Up: Upcycled Fashion
Stop by the museum anytime between 12:30 and 4:30 p.m. for an afternoon of creative exploration! Bring your own garment to transform into a one-of-a-kind piece that better reflects your style. Explore both sewing and non-sewing techniques ranging from embroidery to painting, while also learning about ways you can alter a garment’s foundation (e.g., a better fit for your favorite top or adapting jeans into shorts). Upcycling offers an opportunity to practice sustainability and refine your personal image.
