Kids play, adults plan. 

As we grow up and become adults, we are so fixed in the idea of setting goals and achieving them. We forget to have fun, and to simply play. 

Our hands have muscle memory and we build these muscle memories as we grow. We know what to do when we pick up a material, either by twisting, wrapping or tying a knot. Everyone is an artist. Everyone is born to be creative. 

This workshop is designed for any people who want to embrace the playfulness and creativity of their long-forgotten inner child.  

We will follow our hands’ muscle memory and intuition in making a fashion piece. We will tear apart worn-out clothes and create a new design, be it conceptual accessories, jewellery, or garments. 

What we will cover?

In this workshop you will be guided through textile and material design ideas to approach your own fashion (re)creation through play and self-expression.
