About the facilitator:

Sommer Jade has been passionate about recycling her whole life, always cutting up old clothing to sew new garments. Her upcycling journey led her to using her old clothing to create functional baskets & belt bags. She believes that by passing on the weaving knowledge her mother taught her, that it will connect us & also help reduce the fabric waste in the world.
