About this Event

Welcome to the Re/MIX Series, a sequence of high-vibe, collaborative making sessions designed to bridge the gap between sustainability and creative expression. Hosted by Thread the Culture in partnership with the Richmond Public Library, this workshop is where we use textile art to build community storytelling.

Led by artist and fashion designer Kimberly Antoinette, this 3-hour session invites you to step into the world of "Textile Narratives." We aren't just making hats; we are creating wearable stories.

What You’ll Experience:

The DIY Bar: Select a complimentary trucker or bucket hat and make it your own using my signature "no-sew" construction techniques.
The BYO Remix: Bring a denim jacket or tote bag from home that needs a second life. We’ll provide the professional tools to help you upcycle it on the spot.
The Archive: Access a curated collection of fabric remnants, denim scraps, hardware and specialty adhesives to add depth to your design.
Skill-Building: Learn professional-grade textile bonding and techniques that you can take home to continue your upcycling journey.

Details at a Glance:

Who: Adults (18+) interested in art, fashion, and community.
Skill Level: No experience necessary! We will mentor you through the entire process.
