Link Offers March 6th Art Workshop to Transform Worn Clothing

Link Transit is offering the community a chance to upcycle that worn denim jacket or the old favorite pair of jeans with the upcoming free art workshop on March 6. The free textile upcycling event is part of a series of monthly clothing upcycling events.

"Link Transit has partnered with the First Friday arts walk organization to offer a series of hands on art experiences from 3-5 on the first Friday of every month," said Selina Danko, outreach coordinator.

This year's series of art workshops will center on upcycling textiles, such as thrift store finds or forgotten clothes in the back of the closet that could use some sprucing up. Lisa Robinson, a local artist Danko dubbed as a 'jack of all trades', will be leading the workshops.

"She will lend her help with expertise related to sewing, applique and painting on fabric," said Danko.

The workshop is from 3-5 in the Columbia Station boardroom. Space is limited and registration is available by 664-7624 or email sdanko@linktransit.com.
