The Community Costume Emporium Workshops

About

Empath Action CIC are delivering easy to follow clothing workshops where you can learn to use fun sewing and artistic techniques to update or even repair your favourite pieces of clothing which may be past their best in their Community Costume Emporium Workshops!

We are initially running a taster session focusing on reusing and repurposing and there is an opportunity to create Valentine’s and rhubarb themed keepsakes. We then have workshops focused on applique, sashiko, stencilling and fabric painting amongst others.

All workshops will be run in our Costume Emporium at the Ridings Shopping Centre where you will have the opportunity to look at the costumes which we hire out for artistic performances.

All sessions are aimed to focus on making clothing reusable and promoting sustainability and are funded with the help of The National Lottery Community Fund.
