Unleash your creativity in this two-part workshop, where you'll learn how to upcycle and transform ordinary garments into extraordinary, personalised fashion pieces that reflect your unique style. Gain an understanding of styling and upcycling principles, plan your project, and bring it to life through hands-on sewing and upcycling techniques. With expert guidance and support, you'll finish with a one-of-a-kind piece, and a styled photoshoot to capture it.

As a dedicated fashion designer and textile artist, I specialise in the transformative artistry of merging photography with textile prints. Through craftsmanship and passion for sustainability, I employ zero-waste design approach, which I fondly refer to as the "origami method" to craft designs tailored for a circular fashion business model. By utilising large pieces of materials and fostering a commitment to upcycling, I strive to redefine the boundaries of fashion, blending artistic expression with environmental consciousness and community building.
