A MUSEUM in Reading is offering new youth workshops teaching the art of upcycling clothes.
The Museum of English Rural Life is joining efforts to tackle fast fashion and its impact on the environment by demonstrating how to reuse articles of clothing.
Fashion and textiles artist Anurita Chandola will lead attendees in learning how to deconstruct or reconstruct garments, embroidery techniques, patchwork, and applique.
The sessions are aimed at young people with the goal of creating a new garment or accessory out of old articles of clothing.
Anurita Chandola is a graduate from the Royal College of Art, where she focused on independent learning methods and practices of contemporary art and design.
The session is open to complete beginners with no previous experience, though attendees are asked to bring some pre-loved garments such as jeans or t-shirts.
Attendence is free, but booking is required via: www.whatsonreading.com
