Green Grads Workshop: Weave a Mini-Artwork With Textile Waste

05 Feb 2026
Workshop Stage

Every year, the world produces 92 million tonnes of textile waste. It’s an eco disaster. Putting this in the spotlight is GREEN GRAD designer/artist Claire Malley. For this workshop, she is bringing card looms and a stash of denim offcuts, recycled textiles and yarns. You will consider how waste fabrics can become art for interior spaces – and see what you can weave yourself, exploring scale, colour and texture. Beginners welcome. Come and unwind, enjoy the mindful flow of weaving, and take home a special treasure. Claire will be assisted by GREEN GRAD artist/weaver Martha Lawton. Find Claire and Martha on the GREEN GRADS stand in the Innovation Gallery.
