Works-in-Progress is an artist collective based in Toronto and Hamilton.
We make art out of garbage, co-host swaps and do workshops.  We use recycled materials in art-making because up-cycling inspires creativity.
Welcome! We are nearing the end of winter of 2024/25 and our series of drop in textile repair and upcycling workshops called "Winter of Care and Repair" These are mainly in midtown Toronto, with a special bunting making workshop as well for the Heliconian club in Yorkville, Toronto. PLUS one of our members is volunteering to host a bonus series of Friday repair evenings in the Westdale neighbourhood in Hamilton ON (also free, but powered by volunteers.)  FIND OUT MORE on our WINTER OF CARE AND REPAIR 2024 page  

The next event is our annual Neighbour to Neighbour Clothing swap -all ages and sizes- at 20 Glebe Road East (The community room of Glebe Road United Church) - FREE all welcome.  For more details visit our SPRING SWAP page
