Thread Republic
Thread Republic is a collaborative project providing community textiles workshops, events and socials aimed at enhancing well-being through creativity whilst also engaging people with the topic of sustainability.
We believe in the power of sewing to uplift, inspire and connect. Our sessions use the medium of stitch to bring people together, dissolve barriers and create a catalyst for meaningful discussion on a wide range of topics. Our community activities aim to help combat feelings of isolation, negative self-talk and low self-esteem by building confidence in a fun, non-judgemental environment where the focus is on the enjoyment of the creative process.
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We aim to offer an alternative to the traditional linear lifecycle of our clothing and textiles. By celebrating the art of making, repairing and repurposing, we can build stronger connections to everyday textiles pieces to minimise waste and utilise what we already own.
