Course Objective

Today, the threats posed by global warming and climate changes, concepts such as sustainability, recycling and upcycling have gained great importance in the textile fashion clothing industry. Within the scope of the course, experimental application processes and techniques in which materials defined as upcycling in textiles, waste or useless inert are transformed into a new product will be examined.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Sustainability and recycling in textiles
2   Upcycling concept in textile
3   Current applications of upcycling methods
4   Techniques that can be used in the creation of an upcycled textile product
5   traditional and mixed techniques used in the creation of an upcycled textile product
6   Designing an experimental upcycled textile design product
