WORKSHOP
Reinventing basics
Workshop outline
Using a simple white T Shirt as a starting point, this workshop takes participants on a journey into fashion design. By upcycling found materials participants create a design to reinvent their t shirt. Each individual defines their personal approach to the project and learns the skills that they need to complete their design.
This can be combined with the Fashion Sculpture Workshop to give participants a broader set of skills and experiences.
