Join me to help save the planet - one chip packet at a time.
The time has come to turn the tables on the establishment and make a statement with my trusty sidekick, a pair of scissors! As an activist, I’ve taken on the challenge of transforming the fashion world by crafting one of a kind outfits from the most unlikely of materials – discarded plastics and denim. My studio in Daylesford has become a hub for creative resistance, where art meets activism and waste meets wonder.
Join me on a journey of fun and creativity as I lead workshops for school students and private groups, where we’ll ignite a spark of revolution with every snip of the scissors. Together, we’ll craft unique garments and costumes that not only defy convention but also challenge the status quo. From upcycled denim to soft plastics, our creations will be the stuff of legend, fueling a movement that demands change and celebrates individuality. So, are you ready to join the rebellion and turn your wardrobe into a symbol of defiance against the tyranny of waste?
