our upcycling workshop with sam is an invitation to reimagine what you already own— a hands-on, creative way to give your clothing a second life.

when: april 23rd from 6 to 8 pm

how it works: bring one clothing item from your closet— something you love but don’t wear, or a piece that feels ready for a refresh. in this workshop with sam roberts, you'll explore the art of hand stitching to give a new life to an article of clothing you want. you'll learn basic sewing and embroidery techniques to hand-stitch and apply your patches and fabrics onto the garment (jacket, pants, shirt) or tote you bring. natural fibers work the best- cotton, linen, etc. 

sam will guide you through a range of upcycling techniques, offering multiple approaches so you can choose what feels right for your piece. whether it’s subtle updates or a more transformed look, you’ll leave with something uniquely yours.

this workshop is beginner-friendly and open to all— no prior experience needed, just a willingness to experiment and get a little creative.

cost to participate: $35

location: basic. + grounds

believe it or not, japanese cuisine in general is actually quite vegan-friendly, and many dishes can be made vegan with just a simple substitution or two.

you can enjoy the same big, bold, salty-sweet-spicy-rich-umami recipes of modern japanese soul food without so much as glancing down the meat and dairy aisles. and best of all, it's super easy to make!

in vegan japaneasy, tim anderson taps into japan's rich culture of cookery that's already vegan or very nearly vegan, so there are no sad substitutes and zero shortcomings on taste. from classics like vegetable tempura, onigiri, mushroom gyoza, and fried tofu in dashi, to clever vegan conversions including cauliflower katsu curry, french onion ramen, and sichuan-style hot and numbing tofu with ancient grains, you don't need to be vegan to enjoy these tasty recipes. add to that some outrageously good drinks and desserts, like the watermelon mojito and soy sauce butterscotch brownies, and you'll be spoilt for choice!

with ingredients like tangy miso, savory shiitake mushrooms, and zingy ponzu, to name a few, who needs meat? so if you're new to veganism, new to japanese cooking, new to both, or you just want to expand your meat-free repertoire, this is the book for you!

drawing on the unparalleled howard greenberg collection—446 photographs recently acquired by the museum of fine arts, boston—viewpoints brings to vivid life the transformative power of photography and invites the reader into a collection assembled with a connoisseur's eye by a former photographer who is also a gallery dealer and a strong advocate for artists.
