Location: Wild Bobbin – 182 Wellington Street, Kingston ON
Hosted by: Kulab Community x Wild Bobbin
Event Overview
Give your clothing a second life! Join us for a fun and creative evening of upcyling with the help of local makers. In celebration of Wild Bobbin’s brand-new space, we’re teaming up to host a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn simple techniques to refresh a few items of clothing and fall in love with your clothes again.
How It Works
🎟️ Tickets are $30 and include:
- Entry to the workshop
- A drink + treat
- 3 coupons (each worth $5) to use at maker stations
🧵 Extra coupons are available to purchase during the event ($5 each).👕 Please bring any clothing items to upcycle (jeans, t-shirts, jackets, etc.).
You’ll rotate between creative stations, each hosted by a local artist. Use your coupons to choose the projects you’d like to try — and take home clothing that feels brand new.
