Programme Synopsis This programme is co:created with local textile artist, Izziyana Suhaimi. Students will be introduced to her practice of breathing life into old items by using them as art materials instead of discarding them. Students will learn about the dangers of fast fashion and engage in a meaningful activity of upcycling old t-shirts, that would otherwise be discarded, into beautiful pieces of art. Through a series of sessions, they will be guided through how to transform a t-shirt into a ball of yarn, and learn macrame and knotting techniques to create a wall hanging. The awareness of the impacts of consumerism will be emphasised through a talk on sustainability conducted by a garment maker/factory.
