T-Shirt Re-Work-Shop! w/ Gallery Wrightwood

Join us for a workshop creating custom up-cycled t-shirts! We will teach you to use a sewing machine to make something new and wearable!
About this Event

Learn how to customize your clothing in a way that will give a whole new life to your pieces and make durable, wearable art! In this workshop class with artist and maker Lauren B, you will learn how to use nothing but pins and a sewing machine to turn a shirt into a custom piece (photos of project ideas below!)

This method was created for beloved t-shirt designs where the t-shirt got outgrown to save the design and create a new and better fitting shirt, but it can also work for making any fun graphic pop on a tee. Whether it’s too big, too small, or stained, something awesome can be made out of just about any t-shirt and we want to show you how so you can use this skill for your own wardrobe and friends!

Though we will have our instructor and other helpers on hand if you get stuck, a basic understanding of how to run fabric through a sewing machine will help you out for this workshop.

Bring your own sewing machine and two t-shirts you want to combine! Scissors, pins, patches and extra tee shirts provided for more scrap materials.

We also have 6 spots open for folks who don't have their own sewing machine to bring but want to participate!

After you buy the ticket and before the event, you will get emailed details about arriving at the gallery and preparing for the workshop. The workshop is in an air conditioned room and has a wheelchair lift into the workshop space.
