Information about the event
make-a-thek | Smelly Feet Textile with Emma Shannon
Táfýlutextíll is a hands-on workshop where we’ll explore simple techniques for transforming old socks into entirely new textiles. Bring your own socks and learn how to cut them into rings, create chains, and build flexible, playful textile structures from materials you already have.
This workshop is open to everyone and no prior textile experience is needed. All you need to bring are socks. It’s a relaxed, creative session focused on reuse, experimentation and discovering new possibilities in everyday materials.
Emma Shannon is a Reykjavik based, Scottish Textile Artist and Designer whose work explores the intersection of wearable technology and traditional craft. By combining hands-on making with emerging technologies, she specialises in creating inclusive interdisciplinary spaces that foster experimentation and future-facing solutions for sustainability and creative collaboration. As a part of the Endurtakk collective and the repair cafe community her focus has been on the creative reuse, repair and reimagining of locally sourced textiles and clothing.
This event is a part of a project called make-a-thek which is funded by the EU.
