Natural Dyes from Invasive Plant Species: How Undergraduate Research Textile Design Practices Create More Thoughtful Consumers

Becky Flax

How do we begin to communicate the importance of intentional consumption and garment care to generations of individuals who have not known anything but disposable fashion? As designers and makers, value is assigned to pieces for a myriad of reasons, but for a consumer removed from the making textile goods what gives a piece value? This talk will focus on how incorporating intensive hands-on textile education partnered with the students’ related areas of study into the undergraduate student experience, creates more conscious consumers with a deeper appreciation of fabrics in their lives.
