I was very honoured to work with Swapaholic and provide an upcycling workshop for the VIP participants of their clothes swap. Over 10 guests had the privilege of making their own fashion statement necklaces from upcycled t-shirts. Don't you think they had a lot of fun with the upcycling?
Thank you to Swapaholic!
Restyle Your Wardrobe Upcycling Workshop
My upcycling participants also got very creative at the 13th workshop of Restyle Your Wardrobe. In fact, I cannot believe that this upcycling workshop is now into its fourth year. It feels like yesterday when I had my first one at the Science Centre. I remember very clearly that no one turned up and the organiser very kindly decided to have the volunteers take part instead. I was actually very disappointed and thought that upcycling has no place in Singapore. However, fast forward to today and now everyone is talking about upcycling. We even have events just on the topic itself. How strange, yet exciting at the same time. This time around, I had my first male participant. He signed up with his wife, and I was interested what he would bring and make. Here are all the participants with their creations - cushion cover, skirts, tissue box cover and tops!
Next workshop - If you are keen to take part, I am having my next session at Fashion Makerspace on 29 July, 1 - 5.30pm.
Are you interested in natural dyeing?
My first natural workshop in collaboration with GUILD was a success. Participants were curious on what local flora could be used in the dye process. They came, they chose their dyes and they went home to continue the experiment. Take a look at the photos on my facebook page and one of the participant's results.
And if you are keen to take part in my next session with GUILD, I am having session #2 on 15 July
