INT 186AD - Upcycling and Mending Clothing
This seminar explores upcycling and mending clothing: we’ll try practices, consider examples of creators who upcycle, and explore the environmental values behind these practices. We’ll also visit the UCSB Makerspace to learn about the equipment they have to support mending. You’ll emerge with at least one upcycled clothing item and write a reflection about it. No previous sewing experience is required and all mending materials are provided. You will need one item of clothing you want to mend or upcycle (with an optional field trip to Alpha Thrift store in Goleta outside of the scheduled seminar time to learn how to select items and fabrics well-suited for upcycling).
