Learn how to make your own washable pleated face covering from tenugui (simply woven cotton Japanese hand towels) in this live online event led by Takahashi Hiroko, contemporary textile artist and founder of design brand HIROCOLEDGE.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Takahashi has made a range of face coverings from tenugui helping wearers reduce the risk of spreading the virus. These reusable and washable face garments dyed with Takahashi’s signature bold geometric patterns, save on the cost and waste that more common disposable face masks would usually incur, while also transforming face coverings into fashionable accessories.
This event accompanies the downloadable worksheet ‘Make a HIROCOLEDGE Tenugui Face Covering in 7 Steps’. While following the live instructions from Takahashi Hiroko, participants are welcome to join in by making their own face covering. All materials required are listed in the worksheet.
Guests will have an opportunity to pose questions to Takahashi Hiroko during this live online event.
