Application deadline

This project builds on work by Martha Glazzard and Claire Adholla about the sustainability of knitwear construction and manufacturing practices. We will look at how using existing methods from knitwear manufacture in creative ways can affect garment longevity and sustainability, as well and discussing new practices to improve the lifespan of post-production knitwear.

Applicants will be welcomed with relevant experience of knitwear processes and or sustainable fashion practices.
