INT 186AD: UPCYCLING CLOTHING

University of California, Santa Barbara

This seminar explores upcycling and mending clothing: we’ll try practices, consider examples of creators who upcycle, and explore the environmental va lues behind these practices. We’ll also visit the UCSB Makerspace to learn about the equipment they have to support mending. You’ll emerge with at lea st one upcycled clothing item and write a reflection about it. No previous sewing experience is required and all mending materials are provided. You w ill need one item of clothing you want to mend or upcycle (with an optional field trip to Alpha Thrift store in Goleta outside of the scheduled semina r time to learn how to select items and fabrics well-suited for upcycling).
