RECYCLING BORO STYLE workshop

“Recycling BORO Style” Workshop with Pamela Woodward 

July 8 and 9: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

The Colour Vie Studio 

222 Symington Avenue, Toronto

www.colourvie.com.  

Boro is the Japanese technique of patching and mending the utilitarian 

textiles of everyday lives, resulting in beautiful compositions of hue and simple 

hand stitching. Since recycling is a prominent concern in our minds today, 

this class will incorporate attitudes and techniques of boro to refurbish 

worn clothing and other textiles, and to work on quilt like assemblages. 

Whether working individually or on a collective piece, participants are 

welcome to submit their work to the festival exhibition at Propeller Gallery. 

To reserve your space: e-mail colorvie@istar.ca 

Upon registration a list of materials will be emailed to you. 

Cost: $200
