We all keep old or damaged clothes in the closet in the hope to wear them again someday or because they bring up special memories. The workshop “THE MEMORY MAKER” invites you to celebrate these memories and refashion your pieces of clothes stuck in the closet with embroidery.

You are to bring a memorable picture of yours, to be translated into a computer language through a programme devised by the artists, to become the embroidery patterns of your unique artwork. You will then be taught an traditional Japanese embroidery technique, “sashiko”, to transfer the generated pattern on your old clothes.

The workshop is led by Noémie Clavier, a multi-disciplinary artist; and Yasmina Viale-Fraine, a fashion designer. The participants will explore how embroidery is not only a technique, but also a craft, a mindfulness practice, and an art practice to channel your precious memories and emotions.

我們都將舊或破損的衣服放在衣櫃裡，希望有一天再穿一次，或是因為它們帶來了特殊的回憶。 工作坊《MEMORY MAKER》邀請您慶祝這些回憶，重塑你長駐衣櫃裡的布料。

工作坊中你可以攜帶一張記念性的圖像，並利用一個由藝術家設計的電腦程序轉化為程式語言，成為你獨特作品的刺繡圖樣。藝術家隨後將教授傳統的日本刺繡技巧「刺子」，將生成的圖樣轉移至舊布料上。

工作坊將由兩位法國藝術家帶領：Noémie Clavier是一位多媒介藝術家；而Yasmina Viale-Fraine是一位時裝設計師。參加者將發現刺繡不單是一個技巧，還是一門工藝、正念練習，和一個可以連繫你珍貴回憶和感情的藝術創作。
