Creating Works of Art on Fabrics

An original art project by Kinga Chrząszczewska (Kinia Kik),

Join me in my Podlasie studio for Used Works of Art, a vibrant workshop that intertwines the realms of fashion, ecology, and creativity, where we breathe new life into forgotten garments with a dash of imagination. Here, you’ll discover the joy of transforming stains, holes, and worn-out shapes into unique pieces of applied art using simple yet effective techniques that celebrate the beauty of imperfection. Whether you’re an experienced artist or someone simply curious to explore, this gathering invites you to unlock your creative potential, embrace experimentation, and connect with like-minded individuals in a nurturing environment. Let your creativity flourish as we turn the ordinary into the extraordinary, one piece of clothing at a time.
