SUMMARY:Radical Sewing Club-ALX

All who share these values are welcome. \nRegistration: Registration is not required\, but you may set a reminder in Eventbrite. \nCost: Recommended donation of $10 or pay what you can. No one turned away for lack of funds! Monetary donations will be split between Del Ray Artisans (our wonderful hosts) and Radical Sewing Club for continued materials. \nHave materials to donate? We welcome fabric (full cuts and scraps alike)\, thread\, needles\, interfacing\, embroidery hoops\, buttons\, pins\, trims\, lace\, and functional zippers. \nContact: radicalsewingclubalx@pm.me or @radicalsewingclub_alx on Instagram \nView All Upcoming Dates

We hope you will join us as we strengthen our art and inquiry practice together! \nSuggested supplies: sketchbook\, pens\, pencils\, colored pencils\, watercolor pencils\, or other portable media\, and a water bottle since we will be outdoors.

We hope you will join us as we strengthen our art and inquiry practice together! \nSuggested supplies: sketchbook\, pens\, pencils\, colored pencils\, watercolor pencils\, or other portable media\, and a water bottle since we will be outdoors.
