Reverse Garbage
Reverse Garbage is a not-for-profit creative reuse centre based in Marrickville, in Sydney’s inner west. We redirect commercial and industrial waste from landfill to a new life with educators, artists, upcyclers, DIY enthusiasts, tinkerers, set builders, window dressers, community organisations, festivals, charities, and more. We also offer education programs, attend festivals and workshops with the vision of inspiring everyone to make reuse their first choice.
Make your own upcycled Wabi-Sabi bag (for beginners)
Saturday 23 March 2019
Wabi-Sabi, the Japanese concept of finding beauty in imperfection, ageing and repair, is what Reverse Garbage is all about.
Over two sessions you’ll upcycle existing textiles & trims into a unique bag using sashiko stitching, & other handstitching tricks. Bring a cherished fabric to include or choose from our range. We will have limited access to a sewing machine.
Fabulous for adults with a limited knowledge of sewing.
