Event Details
Explore the world of wearable art and body adornment in this playful hands-on learning experience. This immerse creative process will have you exploring traditional and unconventional methods for sourcing and manipulating materials, problem solving and creation.
Use a wide range of media – from fabric, leather, metal and plastics to natural and found objects, and discover individual and collaborative approaches to wearable art.
Particularly relevant for secondary educators, this workshop will have you walking away with experience in jewellery making techniques, fabric construction and creative reuse and upcycling, as well as suggestions on where to source materials and test out creations on the catwalk. You’ll also have 2-3 experiments to take home.
Overall, you will gain an understanding of wearable art and the inspirational artists of this medium.
