Overview
Unleash your creativity and learn methods to revive your beloved torn or discoloured clothing and textiles to give them new life. Fibre Artist Anne Warburton will guide you through a variety of techniques to repair your items, giving them a fresh new look, using fabric, stitch, paint and more. As with the Japanese art of “Kintsugi”, we will highlight the mend instead of trying to hide it, while keeping these old and damaged items out of landfill. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to refresh your items into something beautiful and unique. We will also discuss the importance of such creative activities on our well being and mental health, helping us live in the present moment.
About the Lecturer
Anne Warburton creates dynamic fibre art from repurposed materials and is fascinated about how creativity helps our own personal journeys. Lockdowns during Covid-19 led her to learning new ways to repair clothing and textiles through stitch, paint, and other methods, while keeping these items out of landfill, and experiencing the added benefits of how such practices are good for our well being and mental health. Anne is trained in the expressive arts therapies and learning facilitation, and spent her career in event management. She is currently working on certification as a Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapist.
