Autumn Events At Sparks Bristol
Sparks Bristol is getting cosy and holding some creative events to inspire you this Autumn.
On Saturday 16 November the talented people at Re-thrindle and Weaving Change are holding a day dedicated to slow fashion. The Slow Fashion Playground will feature a range of workshops and activities, mending, crochet, a scrappy fashion show, craft supply swap and open talks focused on reimagining how people interact with fashion.
Re_Thrindle’s mending and upcycling workshops focus on using reclaimed materials and existing clothes in our wardrobes offering visitors a chance to revive their much-loved fashion items. Marcie K will be on hand to help you upcycle your footwear, bring a pair of your own shoes and unleash your creativity with Guildlane paints.
The event can be found on Headfirst and is organised on a pay-as-you-can basis with a ticketed after party.
