 Arlington Art Truck
Patch or Swap: A Textile Rescue Lab By Roxana Alger Geffen
thru Sept 27 | multiple locations
We have all had clothes that we loved and lost—to coffee stains, rips or years of wear. This project is about rescuing those well-loved things and making them wearable again. Sculpture and collage artist Roxana Geffen, will show you simple ways to mend your clothes in a visible but cool way and give you some supplies to get started, either at the Arlington Art Truck or at home. If you decide that you don’t need another project, you can also swap a tired garment for something on our Swap Rack, leaving a short description and story about the piece or simply take a garment and leave us a story about a favorite outfit from your past.
