Offcuts: A Fashion and Craft Archiving Workshop

This hands-on workshop explores the art of fashion and craft archiving through offcuts, scraps, and discarded textiles. Participants will learn how to transform waste materials into preserved cultural artifacts — creating personal textile archives that document stories of making, wearing, and repairing.
