Transform a simple piece of clothing into a unique, embellished creation.
In this hands-on workshop led by Material Response, participants will learn how to transform a plain, staple piece of clothing into a one-off embellished creation. Through three interactive stations inspired by an overarching design influence, attendees will develop skills in hand sewing, embellishment, embroidery, hardware application and design development. By the end of the session, participants will leave with an upcycled embellished item that feels premium and personal.
Participants are encouraged to bring a piece of clothing they wish to reimagine, along with some snips or scissors.
