Join Pure Pod founder, Kelli Donovan, and repurpose your own pair of jeans. Be inspired by textiles across the ages on show in our special exhibition, Shakespeare to Winehouse: Icons from the National Portrait Gallery, London and like the phoenix in the portrait of Queen Elizabeth I, rebirth your jeans and give them a new life! Kelli will guide you to stitch new designs and textiles onto your jeans or a piece of fabric.
To get creative please bring along a pair of jeans or two that you are comfortable with cutting up.
Kelli Donovan started her journey as a designer at 6 years, making creations for her dolls using scraps of fabric from her mother’s sewing cabinet and her Holly Hobbie sewing machine.
