How can I create something from nothing?

What is the value of trash beyond the landfill?

What is its story?

For the second year we are offering free Rubbish Renewed Design Workshops with DIYcave and Open Arts Center to inspire and support new and burgeoning trash fashion designers. Space is limited participants for each workshop. We will have several dedicated designers, material manipulators, and technical teachers to meet you where you are in the process. Come with garment ideas, material samples, and an open mind! Sign-up for one by clicking the linked dates below.

At DIYcave we have two 2-hour all ages workshops to help jump start your vision with an additional 1-hour free studio studio credit from DIYcave.
