We’ll be starting a dye pot that will be used at the Saturday event: Sow\, Eat\, Wear\, Share\, Dye\, Rot\, Renew – but you don’t need to attend both events to participate.

The tickets are available for a donation\, if you require concessions please contact us and we will be more than happy to put you on the attendance list for free.  \nOrganised in collaboration with FoodFutures: Closing Loops we will be hosting a daytime event and lunch. Learn about how processes of growing and foraging plants are interwoven with caring for our clothes and our environment.  \nJoin us for a day exploring the opportunities that local and seasonal eating brings – more than just a meal\, we’re using plants to transform textiles that need a glow up. From foraging to growing our own\, plants can be used for medicinal purposes\, a tasty meal and we can even use our food waste to alter the colour of fabric before we put them in the compost. \nNatural Dyes\nSewing Cafe Lancaster Natural Dye Group’s own Enda O’Regan and Katrina Barnish will share their adventures in natural dyeing using locally grown and foraged plants and seasonal food waste to update and transform clothing in order to give our wardrobes longer life. Learn how to make a solar dye pot (stop in Friday night to see it all begin) and get some tips for doing food waste dyes at home.  \nWeeds for your needs\nA workshop exploring the medicinal and culinary uses of common “weeds” that you find growing underfoot\, in pavement cracks and untended corners. Learn about the properties of these plants and how to prepare nourishing food and medicine from them. The workshop will use some of the plants highlighted in the dye workshop with a focus on nettle and dandelion. This session will be run by Julia Russell\, a plant forager and a member of the Association of Master Herbalists (www.juliarussellherbalist.co.uk)\n\n\nLunch inspired by the seasons and food that can be harnessed for natural dyeing\nLunch will be prepared by a community chef from the FoodFutures network. The food served will use the plants and produce discussed in the morning workshops as well as drawing inspiration from the spring season.\nRot & renew\nWe hardly think about what happens to our textiles when they are donated to charity shops but somewhere around 85% of all our textiles end up in landfill\, whether in our home country or overseas. Dr. Laura Pottinger will be presenting some of her project for the Textile Biennial which explored the environmental legacies of cotton. Experimenting with various natural dye related processes\, including burying large strips of cotton different kinds of soil and compost\, the work draws on the multiple meanings of a ‘litmus test’ – a universal\, dye-based indicator of pH levels derived from lichen\, and a social indicator proving success\, impact or values. We will also hear from FoodFutures about the Community Composting happening in our area. \n \nDrop Spinning Workshop 2:30 – 4:00pm\nTickets\nBooking is essential as this workshop can only host a small number of participants. \nA taster session exploring the basics of spinning your own yarn on a drop spindle. \nBe guided though:\n– How to hold fibre and spindle\n– How twisting fibre works to create yarn\n– What makes wool such a good fibre to spin\n– Connect with others and with the history of this ancient craft.​ \nNo experience necessary and all materials provided. Additional materials and kits may be available to purchase on the day. \nRuth’s passion for Spinning has grown from a desire to make her own knitting yarn from sustainable materials to encompass the whole process of turning fleece into yarn. Spinning in the city at first sight has many limitations\, without the space or resources for spinning that living in the countryside would afford. The hints and tips Ruth has learnt from years of spinning in this way give a unique perspective to her spinning workshops. \n\nClothing Waste in Lancaster District: Discussion\n5:00 – 7:00 pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe making of clothing waste in Lancaster district\, and the (un)successful ways to get rid of it. A workshop and discussion with Activist/researcher Victoria Frausin. Join us for a two-hour workshop to learn and discuss the current clothes waste crisis and the alternatives. ***Please bring an item of clothing separate from what you are wearing for the workshop. *** \nTickets: No need to book\, just turn up on the day. \n  \n \nClothing Swap for a Story & Mending Surgery\nFriday 4 May 10:00 am – 7:00 pm\n\n*Please note this year we will only accept clothing on Thursday and Friday\,\nSaturday will be take away only. \nYou’ve heard “I got it for a song” how about “I got it for a story”. At our annual clothing swap\, trade your unused-but-well-cared-for garments for a story. The price – 1 story per garment is required\, we will compile them with the stories collected last year.

SUMMARY:Craft of Use - Photoshoot
DESCRIPTION:Every item of clothing has a story to tell. We are documenting local stories and portraits of garments and wearers for this year’s Fashion Revolution Week event Interwoven.  \nMaybe your grandmother made it for you and it reminds you of her\, or you’ve just had it so long you can’t get rid of it. Maybe you’ve mended it so many times it’s no longer the same fabric it started as\, or it was something you bought with your first paycheck and it means the world to you. \nWhether it tells a story of your past or reminds you who you can be in the future. The Craft of Use displays how our wearing and caring of our clothing reveals our identity. \nThis project won’t be possible without YOU – so please wear your favourite/most cherished outfit to Lancaster Market Square on Friday 15th March between 12pm and 2pm. Have your photo taken by local artist/photographer Ginny Koppenhol and share your connection to the outfit in a quick interview (written or recorded).  \nThere will be a second photoshoot during the opening night of Interwoven on 2 May.  \nWhether we care about designer brands\, the newest trends or vintage scores\, finding fulfilment in extending the life of our clothes needs to be front and centre to our approach to sustainability. Honouring individual style and identity through clothing – from plain white tees and classic jeans to handmade\, patched and mismatched – is important. But we need to consider the socio-environmental impact of the life cycle of the garments from production\, purchase\, and care\, to eventual discard. \nTo celebrate our individuality and clothing that tells stories\, Sewing Cafe Lancaster is creating a photographic archive called ‘The Craft of Use’. We are working with local artist Ginny Koppenhol for this project to capture portraits of beloved clothing. \nThe Craft of Use Portrait Project is inspired by Kate Fletcher’s work\, which has been published in a book by the same name. We will welcome Kate to Lancaster this May as a keynote speaker for the Fashion Revolution Week event where the portraits taken by Ginny will be on display. \nIf you are unable to attend either event but want to submit your photo and story for the project\, please use This Link. \nHere are some beautiful examples\, for the full stories you’ll have to join us 2-4 May in the Storey Gallery\, and we will also be hosting the archive on our website after the event.  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n“The jumper is threadbare in places and has been mended both visibly and invisibly in many places. Always handwashed. I think this gives it a feeling of being cared for\, as an old\, loved companion should be.” – Enda on her favourite outfit \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n“The brand was Avoca\, an Irish manufacturer. The garment was in a dire state – quite the dirtiest item I’ve ever seen in a charity shop\, although the coat must have been owned by a very keen smoker\, as the arms were nicotine yellow and there were even fag ends in the pocket.” – Katrina on her favourite jacket \n  \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n“It’s been carefully mended many times but now bigger holes have appeared so it’s time to move on to some bolder and more visible techniques and possibly adding on freshly knitted cuffs. It’s definitely got many more years of wearing ahead. Who’s turn next?” – Tom on his favourite jumper \n  \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n“I love the colours of this blouse\, it cheers me up every time I wear it! I got it for my mum donkey years ago\, it’s from a fast fashion brand\, and over a decade later I’m still wearing it\, I haven’t had to mend it even once! I wash it by hand though\, because I want it to outlive me.” – Victoria on her favourite blouse \n  \n

The clothing swap is back with a twist\, alongside interactive events\, guest speakers\, music\, gallery displays\, and workshops in this 3-day event.

SUMMARY:Clothes Swap\, Mend along and Talk
DESCRIPTION:What’s on offer?\nThis year’s Crafternoon will focus on fashion and its implications for social and environmental justice. Bring your mending and join us to explore the fate of secondhand clothing as we unpick the connections between clothing\, climate and more… \nWhat’s it about?\nThe rise of the so-called fast fashion industry is a major contributor to climate change and a host of other social and environmental impacts. This mend-along session will take us on a tour of what happens to the clothes we donate or throw away – we’ll get inspired with talks from some of the researchers and activists working in this field and then put our thinking caps on to try and design some alternative solutions. \n  \nBooking in advance is required

DESCRIPTION:Come and have a taste of the variety of vibrant colours using non toxic plant based processes. \nBookings at: \n1pm to 2:30 pm https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/dyeing-fabric-with-kitchen-waste-lancaster-health-festival-tickets-163827166465 \n3pm to 4:30 pm https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/dyeing-fabric-with-kitchen-waste-lancaster-health-festival-tickets-163827296855 \nCome and have a taste of the variety of vibrant colours using non toxic plant based processes. Learn the basics on how to extract and use pigment from vegetable waste on natural fibres. Suited for beginners\, limited spaces available\, materials included. \nChemical dyes are extremely toxic and cause huge amounts of pollution at every stage of their production and use. \nIngredients in chemical dyes are responsible for huge amounts of pollution of soil and water\, this goes beyond those involved in the industry and affects people living in the whole region. \nLittle textile production occurs in the UK or across Europe\, so we become \nincreasingly divorced from the process and problems inflicted and awareness \ndeclines. \nConnect more closely with nature\, join us for a small scale DIY alternative to fast fashion\, and have fun in the process. \nYou will learn more about food waste and textiles while having fun in the process
