The Chatham Branch of the Chatham-Kent Public Library (120 Queen Street, Chatham, ON) will host a Teen Fashion: Design & Collage workshop on Saturday, January 10, 2026 from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. The session is listed under CKPL’s teen programs and is aimed at local teenagers (commonly considered ages 12–18).
The hands-on session is part of CKPL’s growing youth and maker programming at a time of rising engagement. According to The Chatham Voice, physical visits to C-K’s 11 library branches increased by nearly 50,000 in 2023 compared with 2022, and the number of active cardholders rose by about 4,500.
The CKPL event description says participants will create fashion designs using magazines, mixed materials, markers and die cuts. The listing does not specify fabric swatches, nor does it name an event sponsor; it also does not list a fee. (The event page states ‘No registration required.’)
Local parents and schools seeking low-cost extracurricular options may find the workshop timely as families face rising costs. The program follows the library’s recent move to eliminate overdue fines on adult and youth print materials — a policy change reported by the Chatham Daily News aimed at improving access.
No registration is required for the workshop. For more information, see CKPL’s teen programs page or the Program Calendar at the Chatham-Kent Public Library website, or call the Chatham Branch at 519‑354‑2940.
