Gold and Silver tier members invite to Birkenstock x Crafts Council workshop with Tanvi Kant

We’re excited to invite Crafts Council members to book their free space to this special event in collaboration with Birkenstock, where you'll have the chance to customise your own pair of shoes. This hands-on session is a unique opportunity to get creative, learn from an expert, and make your footwear truly one-of-a-kind. Spaces are limited, so don’t miss your chance to be part of this exclusive experience.

Workshop participants are encouraged to either bring a pair of existing Birkenstocks to customise, or they will be able to purchase a pair at the event.

Tanvi Kant is an interdisciplinary artist who repurposes textiles through elemental hand-construction techniques by unpicking, wrapping, coiling, knotting, and stitching sculptural textile forms. Fabrics have been sourced from tailors, seamstresses as well as saris from her circle of family and friends. By re-working an array of textiles, evocative of personal and often private histories materials of sentimental value or simply tired looking, unwanted items of textiles are transformed through an intuitive materials-led approach. She is based on the South East coast.
