About this Event
Bring one or two well-loved garments or fabric items and spend an afternoon learning how to repair, customize, and creatively upcycle them in a guided textile studio experience.
Loop Thread Studio is designed as a small, hands-on workshop rather than a presentation-based class. Participants work directly on their own denim, jackets, canvas bags, or other suitable textiles while learning practical decorative repair techniques.
A local textile artist and Lead Facilitator will be present throughout the session to manage QR check-in, demonstrate techniques, provide individual guidance, and support safe use of workshop tools.
Techniques may include visible mending, sashiko-inspired stitching, decorative patching, fabric appliqué, botanical motif stamping, and water-based textile detailing.
The afternoon includes a Sustainable Botanical Grazing Board, warm herbal tea, coffee, and whole-grain pastries.
Participants leave with the item they personally repaired or customized during the workshop. This is an in-person creative experience and not a DIY-kit or self-study product listing.
