Event Details

A Haori is a traditional Japanese jacket usually worn over a kimono. In modern times it can be worn like a cardigan over a long shirt or hoodie for a streetwear style. 

Upcycle a T-shirt to make your own Haori for the fall /school year! All materials are provided; however, feel free to bring your own, if you wish. 

Please plan to attend all three days.

IMPORTANT: Because of limited seats and class popularity, reservations will not be held beyond 3:40 pm. At that time unfilled reservations will be offered to non-registered students present in the library.
