A flowing textile river, woven with recycled materials by hundreds of school children from 32 Wandsworth primary schools, will be exhibited at Southside until Wednesday 8 May.Led by Royal College of Art Fashion Design graduate and artist Caroline Lauvetz, the project is inspired by Wandsworth's rich history of textile manufacturing along the Wandle River. Over 30 Wandsworth Primary teachers came together and joined Caroline for a series of sessions to learn weaving techniques to enable them to support their pupils from years 4 and 5 with creating their own textile artworks.
The children practiced weaving techniques on Wandsworth-sourced reclaimed fabrics to create an individual and unique piece of cloth. Each participating pupil's upcycled, woven cloth was joined together to create the textile river, which will flow through the exhibition space, referencing the Wandle's historic use of textile manufacturing and the current polluted rivers worldwide. Through the project, pupils have learned about the life cycle of a garment to understand the environmental impact of the current industrial systems in the fashion industry, and sustainable methods of consuming and manufacturing clothing.
