Join us at The Old Waterworks for a series of events that are part of Pluto Press’ anti-capitalist fashion week which celebrates the release of Tansy E. Hoskins’ text: The Anti-Capitalist Book of Fashion.

You’ll be able to meet the author, take part in reading groups, Q&A’s about the industry, drop-in sewing sessions and customisation and reclamation workshops with local artists.

All events are free to attend but booking is advised. If you can’t make the event, please return your ticket as soon as you can so someone else can attend. Workshops are not suitable for children under 16 years of age.

18 September 2022. 11.00am - 2.00pm 'Reclaim and Remake' Booking Link

After talking about the impact of the fashion industry, Philippa Stewart will host a workshop showing you how to offset waste by reclaiming materials from unwanted garments to create something new. Based around and inspired by the hand stitch technique Boro, the process of repairing clothes and reworking cloth is a peaceful process with lots of application.

Please bring some clothes with you to repurpose - old t-shirts or leggings are ideal. There will be donated materials at the workshop if you don't have anything suitable.
