What you will do
This workshop is all about unlocking the potential of your garments. We'll explore new possibilities by looking beyond their existing shapes and transforming them into creative puzzle pieces. With just a few well-placed cuts, you can completely change a garment's structure.
The workshop is divided into two parts:
- Part One: Deconstruction and Transformation: Conny will guide you off the beaten path, teaching you how to see your clothes as puzzle pieces ready to be reborn into something exciting and new. You'll learn three different ways to restyle and cut garments, such as transforming a shirt into a skirt or a jacket into trousers or a backpack. No sewing experience is necessary! We'll have two assistants on hand to help with any sewing needs that may arise.
- Part Two: Dress-Up Party and Catwalk: Let your creativity shine! The second part of the workshop is a fabulous dress-up party and catwalk where you can style your newly transformed garments however you please. We'll even have props like hats, sunglasses, balloons, and more to help you fully embody a new persona if you wish!

About the artist
Conny Groenowegen
Conny Groenowegen zooms in on the issues associated with industrial production and labor processes. Her research traces back to the origins of methods: revealing and re-establishing the sparkle of manufacturing before the fashionable took its toll. She sheds a new light on production, whilst searching for what is essential and appropriate for organisations and brands. She does so by taking away barriers, preparing reinvigorated procedures for the next step, ready to interact with the world.
