About the event
We’ve joined forces with West Yorkshire Print Workshop to deliver print activities on Saturday 28th September 2024 for our final event of Sustainable Fashion Week 2024.
Tote-ally brilliant bag printing workshop
Turn scrap fabrics into stylish, functional totes and help us to reduce textile waste and share the message of sustainability. Screen-print your decontructed DIY tote with the logos of local community organisations: West Yorkshire Print Workshop and Thread Republic, then stitch your bag together and use it to help spread the word of Kirklees’s creative community whilst you’re out shopping for your groceries!
Postcards with Purpose!
Drop-in and celebrate Sustainable Fashion Week and the Power of Repair by creating your own slogan postcard using the Adana Print Presses.
Make a stand against overconsumption and celebrate the slow fashion movement by printing your very own postcard from a selection of calls to action such as “Stitch It, Don’t Ditch It!”.
Why not display your postcard as a reminder for you to make mindful choices in your approach to fashion or perhaps send your message to a friend to inspire them to take part too – help spread the message that quality and sustainability matter!
