Weaving and Crochet Workshop

This hands-on workshop explores basic weaving and assembly techniques using recycled textiles. Participants learn thread preparation—cutting, sorting and winding—and are introduced to lirette weaving with strips of recycled T‑shirts, plus crochet techniques for assembling pieces and creating texture. The session examines practical methods for transforming waste into functional objects and offers an educational takeaway to support continued practice at home, while emphasising textile reuse, slow making and material potential.
