Weโre beginning to explore something new at the Slow Fashion Hub โ creating opportunities specifically for Perthโs homeschooling community.
This term, weโre starting with a small **four-week program for young people aged 10+**, with three-hour sessions at our Fremantle Hub combining creativity, practical textile skills and a different way of thinking about the things we already have.
At the Slow Fashion Hub, we work with reclaimed, second-hand and underused materials wherever possible. Our community brings together people with years of experience across fashion, textiles, sewing, design, making and education who are sharing those skills back into the community.
We want young people to become **๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ณ๐๐น ๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐** โ learning to repair, alter, reinvent and create; developing confidence with sewing machines and hand skills; and discovering that something doesnโt have to be new to have value.
Most importantly, we want to bring back experimentation, creativity and play.
We often talk at the Hub about making **๐ณ๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฎ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฏ โ something you do, rather than something you are led by.**
This four-week program is just a beginning. Looking towards next year, weโd love to develop a regular homeschooling program using textiles as a hands-on way to explore sustainability and the circular economy โ where our fibres and clothing come from, how things are made, and how repair, reuse, redesign and recycling can keep valuable resources in circulation.
Our first Term 4 group is now forming. **๐ ๐ถ๐

Interested? Send the Slow Fashion Hub a message through Facebook Messenger and let us know a little about your child/children, their ages and what theyโre interested in learning or making. Weโd love to hear from you.
