Denim Workshop
May 17th 2025
Join us for an upcycling denim workshop focused on transforming your old jeans into stylish new pieces. This event encourages creativity and sustainability, allowing you to give your worn denim a second life.
Please bring a pair of jeans that you no longer wear. Whether they are faded, ripped, or simply no longer your style, we will guide you through various techniques to repurpose your denim. Tools and additional materials will be provided, but feel free to bring any embellishments or fabrics you’d like to incorporate.
Come ready to learn and create while contributing to a more sustainable fashion future. We look forward to seeing you there! Workshop starts promptly at 1:30pm.
Denim Workshop at the Spring Indigo Market
Upcycling clothing is widely sought after for the artistic representation of repurposing and reviving clothes that would otherwise not be worn! In this workshop, we will take your choice of denim (think jeans, jackets, shirts, etc) and make it exciting with fabric paint! Price is $30: bring your own denim or pick up something from the swap. Our friendly staff will help you through the process of paint selection, design, and execution.
