T'shirt reconstruction workshops

Hello fine Apogaeans!
Just wanted to let you know of a couple events at Apo this year
involving T'shirts, and that you wanna BRING SOME WITH YOU to
participate!!

First up- in the spirit of being GREEN and reducing, reusing, etc.
the Green Screen Project will be hosting T Shirt RECONSTRUCTION!
Did you know that if all textile production were to stop today, there
would still be enough fiber and fabric to clothe the world for the
next 20 YEARS!!
Be the cutting edge of green AND fashion, and learn about re-using
and re-fashioning and explore the DIY punk aesthetic.


Bring your tired, old, boring t'Shirts of any color or print, and
give them new life by turning them into funky, cool, and earth-
friendly garments (such as skirts, arm gauntlets, comfy corsettes,
bags, hats, and of course- great new shirts!!).
The Green Screen will provide a space for the Franken-stining of your
shirts, directions for some easy, quick, and cool projects, and
provide a couple pairs of scissors, *some* needle and thread, and
some safety pins (extras are appreciated!!). Be creative and bring
funky buttons, pins, cord/rope/thread/twine, etc to experiment with,
and add your own flavor to your creations!!


MANY of the projects are NO-SEW!!
So, no need to be intimidated by minimal sewing skills... if you can
cut, rip, tie, or pin things, you're in DIY business!!


Friday and Saturday afternoon at the GSP, we will be hosting
workshops on how to decontruct and reconstruct and walk you through a
couple easy projects (along with time to go crazy on your own), so
bring your shirts!! There will be time throughout the whole event
between other workshops and lectures for drop-in re-fashioning too,
so come by and check it out!

T'shirt donations will be accepted at this weekend's Zoolander Party
at the Blue Steel Bar and at the GSP during Apo for the workshops as
well, so if you have some t'shirts ready for a new home, bring 'em
on!!

***************************************************************
The second item involving t'thirts... the Black Light Play Area will
be hosting flourescent stenciling for shirts (or jackets, pants,
etc). Use our stencils, or create one, and make a glow-tastic garment
with our flourescent paints, fabric markers, etc.

Put these 2 things together, and you can make your own fantabulous
earth friendly costume/outfit, paint it up, and enter the Blacklight
Fashion Show at the Blacklight Play Area Friday night!!


Just 2 weeks till the fun begins!!
