FROM RECYCLED MATERIAL TO WORK OF ART: THE PROCESS OF CREATING SUSTAINABLE TAPESTRY

Share
1. Selection and Collection of Recycled Materials
It all starts with the conscious choice of materials. Natural fibers, recycled cotton, fabric scraps, and reused yarns aim to give this waste a new purpose. The idea is to reduce waste and add value to what would otherwise be discarded.
2. Cleaning and Preparation
Before use, the materials are thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt and dust. This step ensures the materials are ready for the creation process and preserves the piece's durability.
3. Planning and Design
With the materials ready to use, the tapestry design is planned. It could be an abstract composition, a geometric pattern, or something more elaborate. This phase involves creativity and consideration of the colors and textures available in recycled materials.
4. Manufacturing Techniques
Tapestry production can involve a variety of techniques. Scraps and threads can be interwoven, sewn, braided, and sewn, among other techniques, creating the desired texture and visual image. This stage is where creativity truly takes shape, transforming waste into unique pieces.
5. Finishing and Final Details
After production, the piece receives its final touches, undergoes a rigorous cleaning process, and, if necessary, decorative details are added. This phase ensures the tapestry's aesthetic finish.
6. Final Product: A Sustainable Work Full of History
The result is a handmade, sustainable tapestry full of personality. Each piece carries the story of the materials used, while also contributing to environmental preservation by reducing waste.
