Online event, hosted on Zoom by Studio Brieditis & Evans
Katarina Brieditis and Katarina Evans are textile designers and artisans, based Stockholm, Sweden. They work with textile art, design and craft and have collaborated since 2002 as Studio Brieditis & Evans with projects focusing on textile recycling and sustainability. They share the curiosity for all textile techniques, materials and re-cycling and love experimenting across techniques and preferably with materials that already exist.
Outline of the event
Throughout history, man has always been inventive and sourced materials in nature and in the close environment. Today we live with mountains of waste; it is like second nature and we have ignored making use of these materials.
Using only supposedly “worthless” materials, off-cuts from the textile industry or t-shirts and sweaters, destined to be thrown away, Brieditis & Evans aim to make “valuable” and durable textiles and will show their work. A common thread in their work is the importance the limited material gives to the design - and creative process.
The session will introduce you to their practice and proposed activity for the upcoming workshop, on Sunday 23 April, Braiding with T-shirts Rags with Studio Brieditis & Evans. There will be time for questions at the end of her talk.
