This class is part of our Self Sufficiency Series! We will discuss the major global effects that the manufacturing and shipping of cheap clothing have imposed on the world. The apparel industry now rivals the oil industry in terms of global pollution. Many thrift stores are overwhelmed and unable to locally sell all of the clothing donations they receive. Excess either ends up in landfills or creates transportation pollution as these donations are shipped to poor countries, often hurting local industries upon arrival. This discussion style course will look at real world examples of textile pollution, drawing from the content provided by "The True Cost" documentary. We will discuss the merits of advocating for an important cause, and how upcycling, or using waste materials in art, can help to spread important messages about the materials themselves. This course demonstrates a cutting technique which will allow you to reuse your clothing waste yourself - eliminating transportation pollution and garbage, while cultivating creative potential. Learners will also try 3 techniques for using tarn to make practical, upcycled items. Week 1 - Cutting Tarn (T shirt yarn) in a continuous length. Week 2- Finger crochet with Tarn to make a chunky fabric necklace Week 3 - Arm Knitting with Tarn to make a scarf Week 4 - Macrame survival bracelet *This class applies to the curricular requirements for Applied Design, Skills, and Technologies 6 B.C. Grade 1-6 and directly relates to B.C. Curricular Competencies

Watching 'The True Cost' before class will give learners a good foundation for understanding the ethical content of this class. There is some footage of human rights violations, so if you'd prefer not to view it, there are also some fantastic YouTube videos and TED talks about the high cost of cheap clothes.

Carly Filewich has her BCYC, ECE and is an experienced teacher and artisan.
I love making space for young people to bring meaning to their experiences - be they social, educational or creative. I'm a lifelong learner and a parent. My grandparents spoke Dutch (maternal) and Ukrainian (paternal) growing up.
I especially love recycling textiles with my learners on Outschool!
I have pet worms who eat my compost. I love to eat (and talk about!) wild foods.
I completed a Bachelor's of Child and Youth Care, with early childhood education specialization from the University of Victoria. Learning about humans is my favourite.
Yvonne is an interdisciplinary artist with a B.Mus from McGill University. As an artist, investigating the source of my art supplies is important to remain as low impact on the environment as possible. I reuse, repurpose and reinvent from recycled materials. As a homeschooling mum, we support learner led environments.
