Join us for our Creative and Sustainable Making Workshop, where we will explore the pathways of 'making' from the creative design process through to product development. Join fellow creatives as we untangle the topic of sustainability and exchange ideas on practical ways where we can be more environmentally conscious when creating new products.

Collaborate as part of a design team to develop ideas, design and make a range of inventive products using Bernat Klein inspired materials and consider all aspects involved in bringing a product to market. Learn about Joanne Yeadon’s own Bernat Klein inspired product development journey.

Workshop Aims:

• Connect and collaborate with fellow creatives.
• Learn about sustainable practices in all areas of design and making.
• Consider and discuss key elements involved in launching a product to market.

Workshop: 10am - 4pm
