Fashion Maker Space (FMS): new design and manufacturing processes for fashion at IED Madrid. A part of the  Horizon 2020 EU-funded project RE-Fream.

A lab-based on the research and manufacturing of new processes for the fashion industry using low tech conducted by Isabel Berz at IED Madrid. I was in charge during six sessions of accompanying, teaching, mentoring and learning with 3 IED graduates. We experimented on materials, we generated structures, and we were surprised about the possibilities of the raw material: wool in its fleece. It is about a work in progress, moving forward on the practices and approaches and being amazed by the results. We used materials like wool, bamboo, cotton and others such as PLA (polylactic acid) and metallic thread to create structures and textures. We explored ways of weaving, blending and heating the surfaces. We pleated the fleece and used corn starch bioplastic to harden and breed more rigid surfaces.
