The Lancaster Science Factory will be closed on Sunday, April 20th. We are open regular hours all other days!
Kids in grades 3 – 8 can join us for a special hands-on workshop about sustainable fashion: Consumption to Creativity!
Participants will learn about the differences between fast and sustainable fashion and the environmental impacts of fashion waste. Every student will get to craft their own wearable fashion piece using upcycled and recycled materials. The workshop features a special appearance by Miss Pennsylvania, Miranda Moore!
This workshop is presented FREE thanks to the generous support of LancasterMakes. Space is limited and registration is required. Please only sign up if you can attend!
