Flip It! with Make Shift Studios

Make Shift Studios is a Cambridge-based creative studio that specializes in custom upcycled clothing, furniture, and found-material art. With such a wide variety of experience, they are experts in bringing new life to old, tired items. Follow them on instagram @make_shiftstudios to stay up to date on current projects. Just last month they hosted a fashion show titled “Left on Red” on the MBTA subway, showcasing an entire collection of upcycled fits in the wilds of the Boston transit system.

Flip-it! Is a class designed to unlock the most potential in the items that surround you. Using an item of your choice, we’ll walk through all the steps of envisioning, planning, and executing an upcycling project. Small furniture, clothing, light fixtures, whatever you can think of- we can give it a good refresh. The options are endless- only limited by your own imagination. This class is designed to provide you with a workflow to properly assess and prepare.
