Two days of total immersion into transforming some of your much-loved clothes into items that you can wear again. We will be giving favourite items a new lease of life. 

At this workshop, we will look at clothes, their shapes and styles and how to improve them. What can we add and what to eliminate? Finding interesting ways of creating something new out of something old and making it into something you can use again. The aim is that you don’t have to get rid of your favourite items. You can 'mix them up' with other garments. Think of combining several different textures or shapes together (see photos below). Maybe through adding lines, contrasts or elements where you don’t expect it. It is about exploring possibilities and looking at your clothes in a new way. We will also be looking at how to emphasise areas exploring a wide variety of surface design techniques to transform garments.

You will be working with individual design elements, depending on your own style and preference. This is a fun and playful way of transforming existing textiles and giving them a personal, fun and quirky element. And all of this whilst being nurtured and fed by Hawkwood's delicious organic 2-course lunch, cakes and drinks.
