Upcycling
To reuse discarded objects or material in such a way as to create a product of higher quality or value than the original.
The fashion industry creates, annually, over 500 billion Euro worth of waste. The waste comes from discarded materials, under-utilised clothing, and the lack of recycling processes in place. It is heart breaking seeing the level of impact fast fashion has on the environment but by learning the crafts of the old and other essential skills you will learn how to combat this all while having fun.
This course will show you the essential skills needed to redesign and reshape garments into unique and beautiful new pieces, while also keeping more clothes and textiles from going to landfill. Using deadstock fabrics and deconstructed, unwanted clothing you will make new modern, imaginative shapes and designs.
