Event Details

Cancelled: “Swap-O-Rama-Rama” DIY Workshop & Clothing Swap | Oakland

Please note, Swap-O-Rama-Rama is no longer taking place.

Swap-O-Rama-Rama is a nonprofit community clothing swap with a do-it-yourself workshop in which attendees explore the process of reuse and collective creativity together.

Every third Saturday of the month (except for May when they’re at the Maker Faire), they host a meetup where they encourage beginners to experts alike to come, bring clothes and ideas, and swap it like it’s hot. Share and learn ideas of how to repurpose anything and everything into clothing, home decor, and beyond.

The big Swap-O-Rama-Rama at Maker Faire is coming up, May 16-17, 2015. It’s the biggest clothing swap in the world, and they need the cooperation of their members (you!) to help get ready on April 18:

  • Help embellish their huge spray painted signs
  • Sew thread catchers (use their pattern and sewing machines)
  • Contribute your ideas for the event (especially you, SORR veterans)
  • 3 pm: Information meeting for SORR (Maker Faire) volunteers

Please bring: Clothes to swap, questions about the big Swap-O-Rama-Rama, and a friend.

Food and beverage are always encouraged so if you can, bring a finger food to share… They’ll have an ice cold water cooler on hand.

Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.
