Description

This hands-on, creative workshop invites participants to explore the environmental impacts of the fashion industry while making their own unique charms from deadstock and textile offcuts. Using beads, fabric scraps, and leftover materials otherwise destined for landfill, students will craft personalised keyrings, bag charms, or pendants.

Alongside the making process, the workshop will create space for discussion about textile waste, the lifecycle of clothing and how upcycling can challenge fast-fashion culture.
