Ones that draw from local experiences\, cultures\, folklores\, knowledge\, and skills\, using locally grown plants and fibres to meet clothing needs. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExtra Detail\n‘Clouture’: (A made-up word derived from ‘cloot’ – a Scots word for clothing mashed with ‘couture’ referring to the business of designing\, making\, selling fashionable custom-made clothing\, and usually associated with exotic places\, exclusivity\, and limited access.) This work has been based in two Scottish communities with a history of textile manufacturing – one on the island of Tiree and the other within the diverse community of craftivists and makers at ReMode in Paisley. For Renfrewshire’s Cycle Arts Festival the research in-progress including prototypes from both sites will be presented as a popup exhibition on the cycle path (location tbc). The artist will also give talks and lead walks where participants will gather and do some creative experimenting\, at hands-on workshops\, with locally grown ‘unlikely’ fibres. The research has been funded by Creative Futures at Glasgow School of Art and the Cloture happening as a part of the Renfrewshire Cycle Arts Festival with the financial support of One Ren. Many thanks to the residents of Tiree\, the wonderful makers at ReMode\, Niki Taylor\, Keng Keng Watt and Muriel Ann at One Ren for her support and encouragement in sharing and developing this project with an audience via CAF. \n  \nClick here to book tickets for the Artist Talk. \n  \nDate/Location\n4th August\, 11am – 4pm exhibition & 12pm – 2pm artist’s talk \nNext to the Alexander Wilson Memorial\, Paisley URL:https://cycleartsrenfrewshire.co.uk/event/clouture/ LOCATION:Alexander Wilson Memorial\, Seedhill\, Paisley\, Scotland\, PA1 1JL ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cycleartsrenfrewshire.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Gillian-nettle-replacement-pic.jpg GEO:55.8429925;-4.4180982 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Alexander Wilson Memorial Seedhill Paisley Scotland PA1 1JL;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Seedhill:geo:-4.4180982,55.8429925 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20220803T130000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20220803T150000 DTSTAMP:20260421T114400 CREATED:20220708T194602Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220719T182624Z UID:10000073-1659531600-1659538800@cycleartsrenfrewshire.co.uk SUMMARY:ReMode Workshop: Natural Dyes DESCRIPTION:Artist\nReMode: Niki Taylor \nIntro\nChoose from a range of exciting crafts workshops that incorporate natural elements with a range of techniques to create beautiful\, unique and eco-savvy creations. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExtra Detail\nNatural Dyes Workshop with Niki Taylor \nUsing natural dyes from food waste and plants inspired by those found along the Renfrewshire cycle track\, you can create your own samples and colour using reclaimed and upcycled fabrics\, learning how to dye and create pattern through this natural process.
