From Flea Market Finds to Designer Clothes - a Customization Weekend

A weekend course led by artist Jaana Vesikko that teaches fabric painting techniques and composition principles, as well as how to set colors so that clothes and textiles withstand washing. The course begins with a guided tour of Hartola's local flea market, where you'll learn to identify materials suitable for painting - such as cotton, linen, and denim.

During the course, you'll customize your own flea market find (such as a denim jacket, t-shirt, or shoes) and paint a canvas bag included in the course. Teaching covers the entire process from material selection to finishing.
