2 Day | Saturday 14 – Sunday 15 March 2026
CLOTH TO CLOTHING: SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES IN DESIGN & MAKING The workshop explores the customisation of traditional zero waste garment patterns, applying the principle of make to measure – make to pleasure. Participants will develop personalised variations to traditional zero waste shirt and pant garment patterns. The traditional base shapes provide an opportunity for innovation in garment design and production. The workshop provides the foundations for further engagement in zero waste pattern making. All levels |
4 Day | Monday 16 – Thursday 19 March 2026
CLOTH TO CLOTHING: CIRCULAR PRACTICES IN GARMENT DESIGN & MAKING This workshop explores the application of sustainable practice in garment making through creative re-application of cloth. Working with selected components of preloved garments and textiles, participants will ‘collage’, weave, patch and stitch to create a new piece of cloth for transformation into a zero-waste garment. As part of the design and making process we will explore the memory in cloth and restoration of value for these preloved materials. (For students who did not take the 2day pattern customisation workshop patterns will be available for use). All levels |
