During the workshop series, experimentation, reuse and creativity are central. Participants explore various textile techniques and experiment with form, colour, pattern and material. Clothing and textiles that have been lying in the wardrobe for a while are given a surprising new life.
Denim Revival Transform old denim with the sewing machine and experiment with new forms and applications.
Visible Mending & Sashiko Repair clothing visibly with decorative embroidery. Tears and wear become part of the design.
Shibori Discover Japanese binding and dyeing techniques and explore how folding, binding and colouring create unexpected patterns.
Eco Prints Make natural prints with leaves and flowers and discover which colours and shapes nature has to offer.
Experience with textiles or sewing is not necessary. The workshops are accessible to anyone who is curious about textiles and wants to discover various making and reuse techniques. There is room to try out techniques, exchange ideas and learn from one another. The workshops are led by Ineke Siersema, designer, teacher and specialist in textile innovation and 3D Fashion Design.
