For one month now, I have been doing products development for ARTYZAN, the brand of Children of the World India, a vocational academy for young adults near Pondicherry, South of India.(http://www.cwindia.org/index.php?page=artyzan-brand).
I am very fortunate to be in this design studio created by ARTYZAN to support the academy.
My work is to create accessories out of the donations of fabric to the school.
Incredible materials end up in my hands: hand embroidered or luxurious textures.... silk, felt, velvet, linen....
so here I am making limited editions of Hats in denim (factory reject), small and big bags with embroidery, “chic purse” with beads, pencil case in felt with an enormous grasshopper embroidered on it, embroidered belts , cushions covers , etc etc...
