Student workshops in the TextileLab

On October 4th, we hosted two 2-hour workshops in the Textíl Lab for 13–15-year-olds, exploring creative ways to reuse textile waste. The participants were visiting Blönduós for the annual gathering of Youth Centers in Iceland. (SAMFES).

As part of the Regional School Day (Valgreinadagur), the Textíl Lab also hosted two workshops for students aged 13–16 (14 students in total) on October 9th, 2025. In each workshop, the students created fabric patches using recycled materials and wool, and then embroidered their own designs onto the patches. They were also given a tour of the lab and an introduction to the various machines and creative possibilities available. Each workshop lasted approximately one hour.
