Weaving, dyeing, printing - sustainable methods for textile finishing
In conjunction with the Slow Fashion Lab exhibition, Handmade Fabric Day aims to offer the public a different kind of experience regarding several slow fashion practices in Indonesia today. By inviting four artists/designers from Jakarta and Bandung, the public has the opportunity not only to learn about slow fashion in general, but more importantly to see how interesting it has become in the hands of these artists/designers.
By using the format of live demonstrations for each technique and including the materials that are used, participants can ask questions and engage in the whole process throughout the event. Some of the final results and products using these techniques might be available for sale, and the participants are welcome to set up workshop appointments directly with the artists/designers if they want to find out more.
