Wearable Art: Upcycled Textile Intensive3-Day Studio Intensive Workshop
Step beyond traditional sewing and into the world of wearable art.
This immersive 3-day intensive is designed for makers who are ready to transform garments into expressive, one-of-a-kind pieces through stitching, layering, reconstruction, and creative exploration. Using upcycled textiles, you’ll explore deconstruction, composition, and reconstruction while developing your own artistic voice.
Rather than following a strict pattern, this workshop encourages experimentation, layering, and intuitive design. Over three immersive studio days, we’ll move through the full creative process:
✂️ Deconstruct
🧵 Design
🔥 Rebuild
You’ll be guided from concept to completion with demonstrations, creative exercises, and plenty of individual support along the way.
What you’ll explore:
• Deconstructing garments for maximum usable material
• Designing with intention, balance, and visual flow
• Combining fabrics, textures, and stitch techniques
• Building structure and form in wearable pieces
• Finishing techniques for a polished result
You’ll leave with:
• A completed wearable art garment or textile piece
• New skills in upcycling and creative construction
• Greater confidence in your design process
Students who have taken the Intro to Upcycling workshop will feel especially prepared—but it is not required.
