FRIDA LAS VEGAS FOR SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE 'BUILD'!
I was thrilled to collaborate with the Sydney Opera House Centre for Creativity to deliver the BUILD program for year 9 and 10 design students, facilitating creative learning and design thinking with a big-time sense of play!
Throughout the course of one week, 60 students from different schools created a piece of wearable architecture inspired by the world-famous Sydney Opera House.
My workshop ‘Fashion and the Future of the Planet’ focused on teaching simple costume construction techniques to create structural - but wearable - dream outfits from recycled and sustainable materials.
I get a big thrill from sharing my skills and ideas with the next generation of designers, who inspire me with their out-of-the-box thinking - that in turn positively influences my own creative practice.
BUILD is a 3 year long program I’m stoked to be a part of working alongside the fabulous Sydney Opera House team. Is there a better building in the world to arrive at work every day?!
