Originating from necessity, it promotes sustainability by upcycling scraps into functional, durable items like clothing, blankets, or bags, transforming worn textiles into unique, patched pieces.
Join artist Dena Bisnette to create your own Boro patchwork. Class participants will make a small mat for under a coffee cup to learn boro methods. You may also bring your own fabric items for mending. Thin cotton fabrics are most appropriate for beginners. $45 includes all supplies.
