Decorative Knicker Making

Design and sew your own pair of decorative knickers using only second-hand fabrics.Forget functionality—this workshop celebrates knickers as art objects, personal statements, and sexy acts of rebellion.

Stitch a pair to wear or purely for display. No sewing experience needed.

All materials provided.

Please do bring in any fabric you have that you'd like to work with.

All fabric welcome, clothing, curtains, blankets, buttons anything you want to incorporate.You could even bring in a tired pair of your own knickers and give them a make over !

I will have a range of fabric available to use. As well as buttons and elastic trims.

Please note, some of my sculptures will be displayed in the room. They are made out of broken real fur coats. All fur used is recycled from unwearable torn fur coats, nothing is bought new.
