Our workshops are run by youth, for youth 〰️
“This is the generation to challenge the status quo of fashion - an industry that at its high end is elitist and at its low is unethical. ”
Slogue circular fashion workshops present textile reuse as a form of creative empowerment for those ready to challenge the status quo of an industry that at its high end is cliquey and elitist and at its low is unethical and wasteful.
Our Youth workshops are youth-led and encourage collaborative and spontaneous design processes. Thrift Flipping Days and T-Shirt Yarn Crochet and Macrame classes are run by our roster of passionate young educators, some fresh out of fashion school and working hard to make positive changes within a broken industry.
Our adult events are run by a multi-generational roster of circular fashion talents and include team building workshops and free public workshops courtesy of our collaboration with Lolo the Vintage Caravan.
For private groups, school incursions, holiday camps, council-run events, caravan pop-ups and birthday party enquiries, email joannegambale@slogue.com.au.

T-shirt crochet & macrame
Turn T-shirt yarn into bags, accessories and/or beachwear using simple crochet stitches, macrame knots and chunky hooks. Our private crochet classes can be tailored to suit any age group, ability or vibe. Also available for birthday parties.

Thrift-flipping events
A phenomenon on TikTok and YouTube, ‘thrift-flipping’ is the art of reworking op-shop finds, as reinvented by Gen Z. Our workshops are led by young hosts straight out of fashion school or self-taught in the art of thrift-flipping. Events include school holiday camps for years 5-12.

Slogue x Lolo school incursions
Our school incursions are best when delivered via Lolo the caravan and work for primary age (freestyle textiles play, hand stitching) and high school, aligning with various curriculum topics in year 7, 8 and HSC.

Slogue x Lolo Festival pop-ups
Slogue takes circular fashion, making and styling on the road in Lolo the Gypsy Caravan. Magically transforming into a creative workspace wherever it parks, Slogue x Lolo brings an immersive, enriching experience to your hood, rousing a newfound respect for textiles. Ask your council to invite us to their next community event and learn new skills such as hand stitching, darning and embroidery in an inclusive communal atmosphere in the great outdoors.

Team building events
Workplace team-building events and corporate ‘family fun day’ ideas are endless when it comes to circular fashion. Our favourite is a communal embroidery and couching project called Fashion Statements.
Whether your business is fashion related or not, we all wear clothes and should learn best practice when it comes to reversing the fast fashion effect.
