Hello readers! We have an exciting announcement! Goodwill has partnered with the Portsmouth Public Library to offer teens a thrifty way to express their creativity – they will learn how to alter second-hand garments into trendy new pieces!
There is a series of four classes being offered at the library this summer that will teach teens a new skill set that will allow them to look at old objects in a new way. Teens may turn a sweater into a hat, a t-shirt into a cardigan, or make other creations.
The library suggests that teens pre-register to hold their place AND so they can pick up a gift certificate to Goodwill to pick out an article of clothing to refashion. You can find all the detail on the Library’s website – make sure you sign up early!
The workshops are scheduled as follows:
Tuesday, July 21 2-4 p.m.
Thursday, July 23 2-4 p.m.
Tuesday, August 4, 6-8 p.m.
Thursday, August 6, 6-8 p.m.
Woo-hoo!
What a great idea! I have a program for called Teen Art Studio where we explore art materials and techniques with different guest artists. There is a real interest in fashion. I wonder if Goodwill would partner with us here in Greensboro?
Hi Kelly,
You would need to talk with the Goodwill in Greensboro, North Carolina. All Goodwill agencies are separate organizations. The Goodwill in your area is Goodwill Industries of Central North Carolina (or Triad Goodwill). Here is their website: http://www.triadgoodwill.org/
Thanks,
