Future Fashion Community project
ReWear Upcycling Initiative + Carbondale Arts Creative Apprentice Program
Program expansion...
A collaboration between @CarbondaleArts Creative Apprentice Program and our ReWear Upcycling Initiative. 10 Week Paid Opportunity. No Experience Necessary.
Beginning January 10th project apprentices will work under the mentorship of lead artists and collaboratively with peers to develop a cohesive fashion line through hands-on learning. Participants will be encouraged to bring their individual perspectives to the process and to experiment with style and technique while developing wearable clothing.
A variety of techniques will be explored including garment decoration, screen printing, embroidery, vinyl applique, sewing and construction. Community production days will include additional ReWear shop artists and community participants to share their knowledge and skills with participants.
