Step into the world of environmental fashion with Stainforth sessions
Fashion, media and music will come together in the latest project from acclaimed South Yorkshire designer and environmental champion Estelle Pearce.
Estelle Pearce, of Fashion Fusion CIC, is a specialist in sustainable fashion, up-cycling and natural dyeing.
Her latest project, Creative Futures, sees her collaborating with Jaz Davey of Sketch and Bloom, award-winning film maker Wayne Sables and DJ Ian Byatt, the Project Manager of Doncaster community arts organisation Breaking Beats.
The free three-day Remake Learning event at the St Leger Halls in Stainforth from January 27 to 30, is a chance for participants turn old clothes and textiles into catwalk looks, supported by design advice from Fashion Fusion CIC and Sketch & Bloom, all leading up to a final special fashion show, along with an informal exhibition of garments, photos and films created during the week.
There will also be practical advice from Wayne of film and photography, as well as DJing and live beats with Ian.
The three days are funded by Remake Learning, funded by Doncaster Council and their Pathways to Work.
“These sessions - which include free lunch and refreshments - are a great way to make an entry into the fascinating world of fashion up-cycling in a fun and informative way,” said Estelle.
“It’s a real hands on approach, with sessions on everything fashion and the environment to some valuable basics on film-making and photography, DJing and music-making.
“In addition to all that there will also be some great opportunities to find out about careers and training, with advisers from Doncaster Council on hand as well as some potential employers.
“It’s also a great way to investigate creative courses, volunteering and job pathways, with links to colleges and local businesses to help you explore your next steps.”
