Are you curious about all the things you can do with clothes and textiles? Come along to ‘Fashion, Making & Craft’ at Vrouw & Vaart!
During this enjoyable afternoon, you can get hands-on with textiles, discover new techniques and meet local makers from Amsterdam Nieuw-West.
Take part in creative workshops and activities focusing on clothing repairs, reuse, upcycling and various textile techniques. Discover how you can give old clothes and materials a new lease of life and be inspired by the knowledge and creativity of local makers. The programme ties in with Wear for Life and demonstrates in a practical way how clothes can last longer.
