From October 4 to 7, 2024, at Place Masséna in Nice, the Refashion Academy is offering free clothing repair workshops. Come learn how to give your clothes a second life with NiceWool.
The Refashion Academy, an engaging traveling event, is stopping in Nice to raise awareness about textile repair and recycling. For four days, at Place Masséna, workshops accessible to everyone will allow you to learn how to repair your clothes. Whether you are a beginner or a sewing enthusiast, come discover these creative and ecological techniques.
Workshops for Everyone
The goal of the Refashion Academy is simple: to teach the basics of textile repair. From hand sewing to machine sewing, including techniques like sashiko or weaving, each workshop will show you how to extend the lifespan of your clothes.
NiceWool will facilitate the various workshops. This local association specializing in textile repair will offer practical sessions. You will learn to sew on a button, create an invisible hem, or even embroider creative designs.
Before coming, remember to sort your clothes. Bring those you wish to repair or recycle. These workshops are a great opportunity to discover techniques while reducing your ecological footprint.
