Sustainable Exchange: NYC Design Workshops

Toda Design Studio are responsible for a string of workshops titled “Sustainable Exchange: Methods and Practices for Collaborative Partnerships.” These eco-savvy events feature artists and fashion designers who share how they utilise sustainable design in their work; while they illuminate the potential of sustainable consumption, production and business methods.

The workshops sound like fun: finger crocheted with Eko-Lab, an NY based design collective who specialise in eco-friendly, hand-detailed womenswear and accessories; create jewellery using old-world techniques and ethically sourced materials; and fashion drawing/painting with a designer who makes custom-made clothing from recycled, repurposed or organic fabric.
