Welcome to an introductory workshop on the Indo-African quilting technique, a hand-stitched method known for its rich textures and vibrant patterns. This technique is inherently sustainable, allowing for creative re-use of fabric scraps and minimizing textile waste. Participants will learn the basics of this mindful craft and create their own small Kawandi piece, gaining hands-on experience in both the technique and its potential for waste reduction.

We will provide you with tools and materials. If you prefer working with your own fabric scraps, you are welcome to bring them. About a week in advance, all enrolled participants will receive an email with details about the workshop practicalities.

The event is organized as part of the Fashion Revolution Week - a global week of events (22.-27.4.) addressing issues facing the fashion industry. Fashion Revolution is a global movement operating in over 90 countries, dedicated to driving change in the fashion industry by advocating for transparency, sustainability, and ethical practices. The movement organizes events, campaigns and conversations that aim towards a global fashion industry that conserves and restores the environment and values people over growth and profit.
