Make It Happen! with Agnes

Customizing Clothing with Hill Werth

For ages 14 and up. Join us in the Gather/Create Space to learn a useful hands-on skill taught by a community expert. No previous experience necessary.

Give your old sweatshirts a fresh look in this creative workshop led by artist Hill Werth. Learn to reshape and reinforce seams, patch with style, and personalize with dyes, paints, stencils, and permanent markers. Perfect for all skill levels, this session lets you upcycle and design garments that reflect your unique style.

We encourage participants to bring a sweatshirt that they’d like to alter. Additional garments will be available at the workshop.
