Swapping promotes the reduction, reuse, and recycling of clothing, and you are invited to come and swap your clothing and fabrics at The Joinery, on Saturday the 19th of October, 2024. Located at 111 Franklin Street, Adelaide CBD, in conjunction with the Adelaide Sustainability Centre - a community connected by a love for nature and sustainable living, and a desire to lead positive change.
This October, you can also take part in learning how to repair your garments at a workshop on the same day.
Please bring at least 1 item that needs repairing
2 workshop classes between 11:30am-1:00pm and 1:30pm-3pm.
Limited spots available, up to 10 people per class.
Booking via Humanitix is essential; choose the "Swap + Workshop" ticket option.
NEVER BEEN TO A SWAP BEFORE?
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS.
1. Simply gather a minimum of 5-10 pieces of clothing or fabrics which are in good condition
2. Drop them into the Sustainable Clothing Co store between Monday the 14th and Friday the 18th of December, from 9:30am-5pm (322 Grange Road, Kidman Park)
You are still welcome to bring them in on the morning to The Joinery.
3. On the day of the event (Saturday the 19th of October) come to the Joinery and pick up some new-to-you clothing or unique fabrics to take home!
The number of items you bring in is the same number of items you can take home.
TICKETING: Get your pre-paid $5 tickets by following the Humantix link, or pay with cash or card at the door on the day. Pre-paid swap and workshop tickets are $7.50
Workshop will be run by creative up-cycler, Sandie, from @3rsbysandie
