SUSTAINABLE TEXTILES 2022

Common Ground Farm and Textile Lab work in partnership to bring workshops that engage our community to learn how to repair, repurpose, and reinvent old clothing through the use of natural dyeing and textile repurposing techniques.

This workshop series is offered on a sliding scale, to ensure that the program is financially accessible for people with limited funds. The full price of our programs will support Common Ground and our food access/sustainability initiatives.

In 2022, the workshop series included a beeswax wrap workshop at the Beacon Farmers’ Market, an ecoprint workshop at Common Ground Farm, and a community mending workshop at the Newburgh Farmers’ Market.

This program is made possible with generous support from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by Arts Mid-Hudson.
