Utility bag workshop

Description of Workshop

Join us for a special guided up-cycling workshop led by Thái, where you'll learn to create a versatile utility bag from up-cycled materials. This workshop will teach you how to upcycle material into functional and stylish bags perfect for travel, workouts, study essentials, and more. Essential materials are provided, but feel free to bring your own to personalize your creation. Enjoy delicious food during the workshop, with vegan and vegetarian options available!

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.
