Guided Upcycling: Bucket Hat Workshop

 Description of Workshop

Join us for this special guided upcycling workshop led by Thái. In this session, you'll learn to create a stylish bucket hat from upcycled materials, gaining new skills and techniques to transform old garments into unique accessories. We provide essential materials for the upcycling process, but we encourage you to bring your materials to personalize your hat. Enjoy delicious food during the workshop, with vegan and vegetarian options available for everyone!

A few words from the instructor:

I'm Thái, an artist from the GTA. In early 2024, I traded investment banking for textile artistry, founding "reco. FEWB". I craft unique wearable art from donated clothes, exploring everything from bucket hats to bags, tops, and more. "reco." symbolizes recognition of the fascinating world around us, from nature to culture and the people in our lives. Join me in celebrating creativity and love through sustainable fashion.
