Participants will learn to put the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Repair philosophy into practice as they “re-build” a piece of clothing that has been overlooked in the closet or has been purchased from a re-use store. Participants will unleash their creativity as they re-create a clothing item of their choice through this artistic expression class. Boys and Girls are both encouraged to attend.
