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.

17 September 2022. 1.00pm - 4.00pm ‘Customise Your Existing Wardrobe’ Booking Link

Breathe new life into an old piece of clothing with various customisation techniques with artist Charlotte Hamilton. Using screen printing, patches, sewing and cutting we will transform your clothes into something new, ready to wear many more times.

Bring a piece of clothing from your wardrobe that you're tired of or don't wear to customise. We will cover: basic screen printing techniques, attaching patches, basic hand-sewing and fabric cutting techniques.
