About this Event
FABRIC STORIES: Up-Cycled Textile Zine Making Workshop
Guided by The Green Zine and DEGA Studios!
Wednesday 13th May, 19:00–22:00pm
@ 119 Wallis Road, Hackney Wick, London, E95LN - follow signs for the workshop on arrival
Join us for a hands-on textile zine making workshop where fabric becomes your storytelling medium.
The first DEGA bag was made with homage to Rita, shortly after Haylee inherited a lifetime of loved sewing equipment and fabrics.
We invite you to think about someone/a story/a trip that has changed your life and use textiles to honour it in your zine making.
Using offcuts from DEGA Studios and reclaimed magazines sourced by The Green Zine, you’ll explore creative ways to make one-of-a-kind mini publications that are both personal and expressive.
Experiment with texture, colour, layering, and form while learning simple techniques such as collage, stitching, folding, and binding and rethink waste through a slow fashion lens, celebrating the potential held within every scrap.
All equipment provided (although you are welcome to bring your own magazines and fabrics) and no experience needed. Just bring your imagination!
Drinks provided, more to be revealed soon!
ABOUT DEGA STUDIOS:
An ode to taking life slower
The first DEGA bag was made with homage to Rita, shortly after Haylee inherited a lifetime of loved sewing equipment and fabrics.
With Eco-conscious decisions their heart, DEGA uses deadstock or surplus fabrics, offering limited colorways, and promoting mindful buying with products built for longevity:

ABOUT THE GREEN ZINE:
Facilitating an escape from climate doomism
The Green Zine began as an independently published climate creativity magazine that through its first two issues aimed to inspire positive climate action and provide an escape from ‘doomism’ by highlighting hopeful, solution-focused approaches to the climate crisis.
As The Green Zine community grew, Scarlett opened up her practice to host collaged zine workshops using recycled materials to share the joy of mindful making. She now collaborates with brands and fellow creatives to explore slow fashion, up-cycling based themes while embracing the art of trying something new.
