Trash to Fashion's biggest workshop & party of the year is a night you don't want to miss!

About Trash to Fashion's CREATE workshop from 4-6PM

In this two-hour workshop you'll learn how to:

See materials differently
Create garments and accessories with the materials on site, and
Repurpose home textiles for fashion.

Local designers and artists will share their passion for upcycling materials and expertise in garment design and construction to get you started in creating your own trashion garment.

Bring your ideas and materials to share. We'll also have a wealth of textiles and other materials on hand, provided by our community partner, EcoWorks, and lead sponsor Goodwill of Southern New England.

We'll learn, practice making trashion in community, then immediately don our new garments and celebrate at the ball.

(The maker space will be open all night, so you can return to play and embellish and make new things.)
