Description:
This class will explore the potential of repair, reuse, retrofit, upcycling, and other circular systems of use in textiles, products, and material. What are the potentials of rethinking our relationships to waste or changing our ways of creation to consider dis-use? How can we employ techniques of mending to counter the unsustainable proposition of relentless disposability? How can we poetically reimagine the aesthetic principles of ephemerality and imperfection? These are also fertile sites for reflecting on the physical, emotional, spiritual, environmental, and economic benefits of repair and reuse.
