SUMMARY:The Art of Upcycling: Winter Wear & Decorations
DESCRIPTION:Get into the festive spirit and give old clothes a new lease of life in this creative\, hands-on workshop exploring the art of upcycling. \nBring along an old\, ripped\, worn or unworn piece of clothing and transform it into something new for winter – from a festive accessory or badge to colourful decorations. \nWhat to expect \nLearn how to combine simple techniques including stitch\, collage\, and appliqué to add colour\, texture\, and personality to your old clothes. \nExperiment with different fabrics\, shapes\, and decorative details\, and discover how something you might no longer wear can become something completely unique. \nYou’ll leave with a creatively upcycled piece ready to wear\, display\, or use as a festive decoration\, as well as new ideas for giving old clothes and materials a fresh purpose. \nGood to know \nBring along an unwanted piece of clothing to transform during the workshop. Ribbons\, extra sustainable materials and vintage book paper are provided. \nFood and drink is also available for purchase throughout the session from our cafés. \nThis workshop is suitable for ages 12+. No sewing or art experience is needed. \nAbout your tutor \nSue Gascoyne is an environmentally engaged artist who loves using textiles\, clay and sculpture to create interactive installations. \nSue’s sensory-rich work has been exhibited throughout East Anglia and London. \nSue was a finalist for VAO25 and selected for a Firstsite Collectors’ Group Bursary Award in 2025.  \nSue has run workshops at Firstsite\, Focal Point Gallery\, The Old Waterworks\, festivals and The Minories. Sustainability and giving people a voice are central to her practice.
