Upcycling textile workshops with Vasylyna Buryanyk
This workshop gives participants the chance to explore decorating and finishing textiles, focusing on combining fabric with upcycled materials like plastic, cellophane, and more.
Throughout the session, participants will learn an author’s approach to working with textures and forms, inspired by professional textile artists. As a result, they will gain creative techniques to transform everyday materials into unique, sustainable textile pieces.
The workshop is designed for a small group of up to 8 participants, allowing for individual attention and support throughout the process. It’s aimed at an adult audience, with content suited to their skills and interests, ensuring an engaging and rewarding experience for everyone.
By the end of the workshop, participants will gain new skills in textile arts and upcycling, and feel confident to continue exploring these techniques on their own, contributing to a more sustainable and creative future.
The workshop is taking place in two sessions:
26.2. 18:00-20:00 (in English)
27.2. 18:00-20:00 (in Ukrainan)
