Workshop

Crochet and weaving workshop

Take part in this introductory workshop on weaving and assembly techniques and learn how to make objects from recycled textiles.

Spirale de tissus multicolore

After a presentation of the objectives and tools, you will learn the steps involved in preparing the threads: cutting, sorting and winding. You will then be introduced to ‘lirette’ weaving using strips of recycled T-shirts, as well as crochet as a technique for assembling and creating textures. You will also receive an educational document to take home with you so you can continue practising at home!

This workshop celebrates textile reuse, inviting you to slow down, create and reveal the potential of existing materials.
