Join us for the Designing With Care: Community Workshop, led by Katya Koroscil, the Managing Creative Director of DESIGNwith lab. Inspired by the Form Follows Care project, this workshop will explore how an innovative design lab and a community of women sewists co-create a product line using marketing waste.

Regent Park Sewing Studio members will demonstrate the practical aspects of making zero-waste products, while Katya will share the theoretical aspects of upcycling marketing banners into soft goods. The workshop will touch on how to intervene in linear waste streams to design circular products and how a caring design practice nurtures the community through collaborative design.
