This year’s workshop will be all about paper; designers will be presented with a challenge to provide a new use-value to old discarded papers (magazines, newspapers, flyers, catalogs, packaging waste, etc.) by creative recycling.
Aim of this workshop is to offer the possibility of creating and recycling in an inspirational premises of Association MLAZ to designers from all over the Europe, where they will have the opportunity to create on open. Prof. mr. Salih Teskeredžić, product designer from Academy of Fine Arts, will be available for consultation and advice during the workshop to all participating designers.
This way, despite the fact that we are talking together about our social paradigms, we are establishing cooperation of Designers at national, regional and European level as well.
During the three-day long workshop, each participant needs to make one complete outfit: a dress or outfit consisted of top and bottom part which can be worn together as a whole.
