Climbing Chalk Bag Upcycling

​Maann is back for another event on Saturday, May 10, 5-7 PM. This time, Maann’s co-founder Sophia is teaming up with Jimmy Guo to host a hands-on workshop where you’ll DIY your own chalk bag using rice bags sourced from restaurants in Chinatown— giving new life to upcycled materials and creating something truly one-of-a-kind🧗

​We’ll be providing everything you’ll need - sewing patterns for chalk bag and chalk bucket, lining fabric(we encourage everyone to find your own old fuzzy materials like towels to upcycle), rice bags, velcro, and sewing machines.

​This workshop is beginner-friendly and no sewing experience is required.

​Fun facts about Sophia Su and Jimmy Guo: Sophia, the co-founder of Maann and co-host of the workshop, became a climbing nerd two years ago and stumbled upon the idea of upcycling rice bags into chalk bags a year ago - her DIY chalk bags have been conversation starters at the gym ever since. Her least favorite hold is slopers, and her favorite way to end a session is practicing silent feet with friends.

​Jimmy, the designer and founder behind KEHANG, combines his passion for fashion with an enthusiasm for climbing. When he’s not working in his studio, Jimmy can usually be found on the climbing wall, figuring out cruxes and dodging dynos. His favorite climbing challenges are tricky slab routes, and he believes the best climbing sessions end with good laughs and chalk-covered hands.

​We’re hoping you see you then, no matter you’re a climbing veteran, a beginner, or want to make a unique gift for your friend who just won’t shut up about rock climbing.
