I'M NOT WASTED

is a project which explored the possibilities of up-cycling industrial textile waste. I mixed different types of pre-consumer textile waste from Bute, Tosungolu and Jersey Cannon Street; creating new materials using only temperature to combine them. After a long process experimenting with melting and burning the materials at different temperatures, I developed materials with varying flexibility, strength and softness. I presented the products that showcased the different possibilities of application with the materials I created. This project showed how experimentation with materials and a craftsmanship approach can change unwanted textile waste into treasured objects.
