Project Details
Description
Idea - To explore the performance of natural dye/printing techniques that could increase garment life. Evaluate any changes in the garment during and after use that influence the participant to discard. The aim is to understand how much this process can extend garment life.
Over a time period of 12 months participants will document laundry processes for upcycled t-shirts. This will be coupled with face to face interviews every 3 months to capture a personal narrative and usage of the garment.
