For the 11th consecutive year, Dutch Sustainable Fashion Week (DSFW) focuses on the future of fashion, and this year Rotterdam is one of the main venues. Taking place from October 9 to 13, DSFW showcases a more sustainable and innovative side of the Dutch fashion industry, with contributions from local designers, artists, and organisations.
DSFW Rotterdam will feature a broad array of initiatives, ranging from high-end fashion design to creative solutions for managing textile waste. The goal is to highlight the importance of sustainable fashion and showcase the local talent contributing to this movement.
Workshop | Reuse and Redesign with Felting - Wednesday October 9, 2024
During DSFW Willem de Kooning Academy (WdKA) will offer a hands-on two-hour workshop at our Fabric Station titled "Reuse and Redesign with Felting." This workshop will introduce participants to methods for reusing and redesigning clothing, using the traditional textile craft of needle felting in combination with new technologies.
Participants will learn about the techniques involved in needle felting, as well as how to operate innovative tools such as the felt loom and fabric shredder. The aim of the workshop is to experiment with transforming post-consumer and post-industrial fabric waste into new materials, helping to reduce textile waste in the fashion industry.
