Making wearable art from found and everyday materials

Fifi Colston’s how-to guide approaches costume and wearable art as a hands-on act of transformation. Petals, shells, stones, fabric, wire, cardboard, cans and drink bottles become starting points for imaginative forms, with practical tips and tricks drawn from the author-illustrator’s experience in visual and wearable arts. The emphasis is on combining materials, shape and dramatic presentation to develop original pieces rather than treating clothing as a fixed category. With its focus on experimentation and reuse, the book offers a compact creative prompt for turning overlooked objects into expressive wearable designs.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Makers interested in costume, textile, and wearable-art projects
  • Creative reuse enthusiasts working with found or recycled materials
  • Artists seeking prompts for sculptural, imaginative design
