Empowering Circularity in Textiles – Join a Research Workshop in Helsinki

Are you curious about how crafting can make a meaningful and powerful impact on society? At TAUKO, we are dedicated to fostering a new craft culture— one where mending, upcycling, and creativity are accessible to everyone. When Thekla, a master’s student at Aalto University, reached out to us with her inspiring project on creating educational materials for fashion redesign, we were absolutely thrilled!

This is exactly the kind of initiative the world needs, and we’re excited to support Thekla’s mission. Now, we invite you to join her small, intimate workshop series, where you’ll explore how crafting can have a meaningful impact on society. Let’s work together to shape the future of circular fashion!
