The Art of Creative Reuse: Artist Talk with Natalie Hamblin | Ephemera 2025

Step into the imaginative world of wearable art with award-winning environmental designer 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗻. In this inspiring 30-minute talk, Natalie will share her journey as a designer who transforms everyday waste into extraordinary works of art.

With over 20 years’ experience in art education and a deep commitment to creative reuse, Natalie will speak about her process, the stories behind her materials, and how wearable art can become a powerful vehicle for environmental awareness and personal expression.
