Bio Sequin Patches with Cassie Quinn, Sparkle the Sustainable Way!
Join CQ Studio to design your own shimmering bio sequin patch made from biodegradable materials that won’t harm the planet. In this hands-on drop-in workshop, you’ll explore how sparkle can be sustainable as you decorate, punch, and stitch your own nature-inspired embellishments to add to your clothing or keep as wearable art.
CQ Studio conducts R&D of regenerative, local textiles and utilises waste to create new materials and systems of production including using mushrooms to clean wastewater to make plastic-free bio-embellishments (patent-pending). They create bespoke designs, and regenerative artwork using the materials and processes developed in-house. They use various techniques from hand-embroidery, design for disassembly, regenerative design and plant pigment extraction to create their work.
Design Club is a space just for 11-14 year olds to work alongside designers and makers and learn about creative careers. Expect to get hands on with materials, improve or learn a new skill while making like minded friends! During the workshop you will have access to Young V&A's material library and books about design and materials.
Each participant must be accompanied to the museum and Open Studio by an adult, during the activity, adults are welcome to explore the rest of the museum. If you have a younger sibling there will always be a family activity running alongside in Open Studio. The workshop is free and you can drop-in at anytime, last entry is at 15.30.
