Panel Talk: 10 Years of ReFashion's Inspiration, Invitation & Creation Bainbridge Island Museum of Art 550 Winslow Way E, Bainbridge Island Sunday, April 12, 3:00-5:00pm Tickets coming soon!
Craft can be a tool for change—one stitch, garment, and reclaimed material at a time. Artists who work with repurposed materials understand this firsthand, and a panel of sustainable artists and community leaders will gather in the Frank Buxton auditorium to discuss how making can contribute to a more thoughtful future. The panelists, who are all involved with the upcoming ReFashion Show, will share the history of this show, their creative processes, the environmental urgency behind textile waste, and how refashioning opens up new pathways for expression, community connection, and sustainable futures. Plus, in honor of Handwork 2026, we will examine how handwork, repurposing, and resourcefulness shape the ReFashion Show, now in its 10th year, and the broader story of craft today.
ReFashion Show @ BI Museum of Art April 26, 2026, doors open at 5pm Tickets go on sale late March
