Slow Fashion, 2-Day Creations

There are 3 versions of this 2-day workshop. At the end of each fun and dynamic workshop students will leave with a finished style of their choice.

All versions use slow fashion techniques and encourage recycling, upcycling and use of existing fabric stashes, garments, duvet covers, old jeans, sourced fabrics, dressing gowns and vintage table cloths, etc to create something new and 'exclusively one-off' for your self or another. This is a planet friendly class.
