Slow:Fashion – Visible Mending
Workshop leader: Sewing Kitchen Linz
In this course you will learn various creative darning techniques that can be used to salvage clothes with holes or damage. – Holes and stains become eye-catchers and give the garment an individual style. The work is done by hand. No previous knowledge is required.
Fast fashion and its negative effects on our environment are one of the major issues of our time. Clothes are usually only worn for a short time and then end up in landfill sites. We can change this by treating old clothes as a valuable resource and creating our own personal style with upcycling art.
Drawing a Thread
The former weaving and spinning mill Ebensee is the hub of the project, which addresses the history of the working world of women, role attributions, social achievements and controversies.
