We’re pleased to share an upcoming collaboration with , and proud to be the first project of the UNESCO Residents programme.✨

**HARDWEAR**

Hardwear is a month long residency (this June!) at Make Room in Perth, presenting a selection of our work in a public setting with pieces available to buy. Led by clothing designer Aileen Sherry and jeweller Kristina Merchant the project explores sustainable, experimental approaches to craft and questions how materials are used and valued.

Alongside the exhibition, the residency will include workshops, demonstrations, and open studio sessions focused on textile printing and jewellery making with recycled materials. Participants are encouraged to bring three discarded items to rework into new pieces, either through mono or screen printing, or by creating handmade jewellery.

The project is centred on shared making, curiosity, and creative exchange.

Many thanks to Poppy at for organising and supporting the project. We are both very excited !!

More details and dates to come soon. 🎉
