Battle Jacket: Fabric Block Printing w/ Salvation Artists Collective @ RCLC

Join the "Wear Your Story: A Battle Jacket Workshop Series with Salvation Artists Collective" at Reuse Commons Lake City, where you can unleash your creativity through a five-part exploration of textile arts. The series kicks off with the "Battle Jacket: Fabric Block Printing" workshop, where participants will learn to carve foam blocks, design images, and create custom fabric prints for patches and decorative elements. No prior sewing or artistic experience is required, and all basic materials will be provided, though students are encouraged to bring their own garments, fabrics, and inspiration.

Subsequent classes will cover fabric collage, decorative repair techniques, painted fabric art, and how to assemble your personalized battle jacket, allowing you to transform wear into compelling stories through visible mending. Classes are led by Katie McFarland, a passionate advocate for upcycling and creative reuse.

Accessibility options are available, and children may attend with parental supervision. To make participation more inclusive, a sliding scale payment option is offered. Join this opportunity to craft a wearable piece of art that reflects your unique story!
