REIMAGINE & REPURPOSE: UPCYCLING HOLIDAY GIFTS WORKSHOP | ALL AGES Priscila Teixeira, Columbus Fashion Academy Don’t let unwanted holiday gifts go to waste—join us for an inspiring hangout where you learn to transform them into something amazing! In this innovative workshop, discover how to reimagine and repurpose gifts that didn’t quite hit the mark. Whether it’s clothing, shoes, or accessories, we teach you creative upcycling techniques such as embellishing shoes and bags or repurposing items into something new. Imagine transforming earrings into necklaces or decorative bookmarks, or embellishing a denim jacket with a unique (but too heavy) jewelry piece. Beyond crafting, engage in meaningful learning and discussions about fashion sustainability and the importance of reducing waste. Leave with personalized creations, new project ideas and the knowledge that you’ve contributed to a greener planet by giving a second life to items that might have otherwise been discarded. Bring any unwanted gifts you’d like to upcycle and we can provide a variety of craft supplies and tools for your projects. Join us for a fun and educational experience that blends creativity, community and sustainability! 441007 A 9 am-Noon Sa 2/8 Sunny 95 Park, Amelita Mirolo Barn $75 R | $90 NR
