Students of LAU Foundation Diploma, Fashion and Textiles pathway, 2023

 

Re/Construct invited the students to begin exploring and interrogating the material qualities and construction of their everyday textiles up-close.

 

Through acts of disassembling and re-constructing, un-making and re-making, we considered the material language and possible future of your textile item(s). In the re-working of the chosen textile item(s), this workshop asked the participants to focus on shape, form, dimensionality, structure and texture. To think about expanding the boundaries of the textile item(s). To think through making and analysing material. To consider the possible history of the textile item(s) whilst contemplating their potential future.
