This hands-on creative workshop invites you to breathe life back into fabric scraps by designing your own personalised textile brooches.
You will learn how to work with a variety of reclaimed, vintage and recycled fabrics and decorative materials such as ribbons and buttons to create a unique wearable brooch with guidance and support from artist facilitator Caroline Ip, in collaboration with Assemblage Collective.
Designed by students on Central Saint Martins’ BA in Culture, Criticism and Curation, Material Memories is inspired by the Foundling Museum’s collection of fabric tokens, which will be explored during the workshop.
You don’t need any previous art experience to join this workshop and it is open to anyone aged 18-30. It will last for 2 hours.
If you want to explore your creativity at your own pace, work with fabric to create something personal and practical, and learn something new, then this workshop is for you!
A small piece of scrap or salvaged material of your choice.
