Constructed Textiles

Experimental constructed textiles exploring knit, stitch, crochet, and fusing. We will make yarn from unwanted clothing such as; t-shirts, jumpers, trousers, old plastic bags and bike inner-tubes. The aim of the workshop is to transform these discarded garments and waste materials into small 3D textured samples. We will also incorporate found objects into the textiles, using old piping, plastics, wires or any other materials available, encouraging playful experimentation and inventive approaches to making.
