COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT
ReWear
Upcycling Initiative
ReWear is a new community initiative where unwanted clothing is given a new life through artistic expression. Motivated by reducing clothing waste, lightly worn donated clothing will be revamped via various decorative techniques. Through this service-learning project, community members will discover more about garment decoration, screen printing, embroidery, vinyl applique, etc. and create unique items for sale to raise funds for Shop Community Service-Projects.
Project Shop Artists will collaborate on orginal designs and decoration ideas that raise the appeal of the lightly used items. Project Shop Artists will participate in all stages of production and assist with community workshops.
The Project Shop will supply workspace, specialty tools, and share techniques to help community participants bring their ReWear ideas to life. Production Days by shop artists will provide core supply of items for sale that will help fund the project and be for sale here on our website.
Community Workshop will be offered multiple times to the community. Participants are welcome to bring their own items of clothing to work on, or they are encouraged to decorate one of the donated pieces of clothing for sale to raise funds for our service-projects. STAY TUNED FOR DATES
