Make a Repurposed Art Patch (with Juicebox Workshop)

With the guidance of Julie Woodard of Juicebox Workshop, and using fabric scraps and a needle and thread, participants will create their own one-of-a-kind art patch that they can use to later mend a hole, cover a stain, or bring new life to a drab item in their wardrobe. Basic familiarity with hand sewing is helpful, but not required. Attendees will develop and build their confidence with using a needle and thread, feel inspired to play with shape and color, and come away with a deepened sense of ownership and self-sufficiency over their clothing. Attendees are welcome to bring the item of clothing they’d like to patch, but may also choose to select that item and attach the patch at a later date.

When registering, if it’s within your means, please consider a donation when registering through Eventbrite to help us cover the expenses of this workshop. The cost to run this workshop works out to be $15 per person.

This workshop will have enough materials available for 16 people. If you register to attend, please be mindful we are purchasing supplies for you. If you can no longer come, even if it’s the day of, please let us know so we can open your seat for someone else to be able to use the purchased materials.
