Questioning The Concept of A Uniform: Face Labo

I received another wonderful package in the post today from the women at Art Tower Mito. After the exhibition ended the women have continued their work together in a sewing club. In the weekend of August 9th and August 10th Art Tower Mito hosted a weekend of workshops for children. The women were invited to host a workshop.

Eri:

"When they do activities in public, the women give the name "Face Labo" to the sewing club."

Yukari included in the envelop the examples the women prepared

to show the children in the workshop.

Eri:

"The kids program will be held this weekend! So the women are preparing the materials now.

Do you remember Asuna’s hand made present for us? It is like a name tag with a braided string from painted fabric which is striped into strips. Yukari asked Asuna if they could use her idea for the program, and she agreed. So the braided bracelet has become one of kids handcraft activities.

They also produce other activities. The participants can choose many things, such as making covered buttons with painted fabric, painting an apron…, of course the kids can make freely whatever they want using the painted fabric."
