How to Hand Braid Mats with Marijke

Join this class to learn how to upcycle all of those old t-shirts that either don’t fit, have a little stain on them, or suffer from a tiny hole. Fret no further, no need to send it to a landfill.

In this class, everyone will learn how to process old t-shirts into t-shirt yarn and create an aesthetic mat. Once everyone understands how to process their shirts, they will learn how to braid and simultaneously weave a mat. All participants are highly encouraged to bring 3-6 old t-shirts they may be needing to clear from their closet, but there will be some provided as well. The best t-shirts to bring are the ones on the thicker side.

This is a project that can be as small or as large as you would like to create it. The end result is a squishy mat that feels wonderful under your feet, could protect your table from a hot pan, or could even hang on your wall. Crafted from excess material into a charming textile.

Attend this class for an enjoyable evening of upcycling and transforming trash into treasure!

This workshop is for ages 11+.
