Looking forward to: Re-fab

Re-fab is an exhibition of rehabilitated pre-loved cloth. Discarded and worn out textiles, including clothing, furnishing fabrics and homewares, have been revamped and re-valued by six artists: Sally Blake, Mog Bremner, Meredith Hughes, Monique van Nieuwland, Carly Prowse and Julie Ryder.

As part of the opening evening, Youth environmental collective, Green Threads, invite you to Clothes Swap-A-Rama. Bring items you think others will value but you no longer wear and enjoy participating in the thrill of swapping good quality garments! Re-Fab and the swap-a-rama will be opened by Kate Pears, Melbourne based fashion activist and founder of The Clothing Exchange at 6pm Wednesday 9 April 2008.

Hi Lisa & baby boys!! Thanks for stopping by my stall yesterday at Hall. You've inspired me to dust off my blog & get it going again after our big family move from Darwint to Canberra. Love your mission to revamp Canberra as colourful & stylish, i've found my customers to all sigh with relief, "retro colour" & leave with big smiles on their faces. Have a lovely week, for me, school holidays in 4 days & counting!! Love Posie

Glad to see that someone is showing that there is more to Canberra than people think. I grew up there and always say that it is just a matter of knowing people and knowing where to go. I found it to be quite a nurturing place in terms of creativity too.
