We all keep old or damaged clothes in the closet in the hope to wear them again someday or because they bring up special memories. The workshop “THE MEMORY MAKER” invites you to celebrate these memories and refashion your pieces of clothes stuck in the closet with embroidery.
You are to bring a memorable picture of yours, to be translated into a computer language through a programme devised by the artists, to become the embroidery patterns of your unique artwork. You will then be taught an traditional Japanese embroidery technique, “sashiko”, to transfer the generated pattern on your old clothes.
The workshop is led by Noémie Clavier, a multi-disciplinary artist; and Yasmina Viale-Fraine, a fashion designer. The participants will explore how embroidery is not only a technique, but also a craft, a mindfulness practice, and an art practice to channel your precious memories and emotions.
我們都將舊或破損的衣服放在衣櫃裡，希望有一天再穿一次，或是因為它們帶來了特殊的回憶。 工作坊《MEMORY MAKER》邀請您慶祝這些回憶，重塑你長駐衣櫃裡的布料。
工作坊中你可以攜帶一張記念性的圖像，並利用一個由藝術家設計的電腦程序轉化為程式語言，成為你獨特作品的刺繡圖樣。藝術家隨後將教授傳統的日本刺繡技巧「刺子」，將生成的圖樣轉移至舊布料上。
工作坊將由兩位法國藝術家帶領：Noémie Clavier是一位多媒介藝術家；而Yasmina Viale-Fraine是一位時裝設計師。參加者將發現刺繡不單是一個技巧，還是一門工藝、正念練習，和一個可以連繫你珍貴回憶和感情的藝術創作。

About the Artists 關於藝術家
Noémie Clavier (FR)
Noémie Clavier is dedicated to visual and interactive practices: whether in the field of print or digital, graphic design and/or illustration. The openness to different disciplines helps her to meet the challenges of conceptualizing a project that is no longer limited to a single form. In her personal projects, Clavier plays with different medium, using, for example, a technique as traditional as illustration and silkscreen printing to approach digital and tech topics. To take the opposite direction of codes and invoke the unexpected. She also likes to evoke the sensitive, because design is a profoundly human discipline, through narrative and playful principles.
Noémie Clavier 致力於影像和互動創作：無論是印刷或數碼，平面設計和／或插圖。她對各種媒介持開放態度，亦因而能夠挑戰構思不受限於單個形態的項目。 在她的個人項目中，Clavier 遊玩在各種媒介之間，比如說使用傳統技術，例如插圖和絲網印刷，去演繹數碼和科技主題；或逆向使用編程，以引起不能預計的結果。她也喜歡喚起感性，因為設計在敍事和玩味的手法下，是一門人性的學科。
Yasmina Viale-Fraine 梣茉莉 (FR)
Yasmina Viale-Fraine, a French fashion designer, started dressmaking at a very young age in her mother’s atelier. In 2011, she landed in Hong Kong and turned the devotion to her hobby into atelierYVF, an evening wear and bridal couture studio. Yasmina’s bespoke creations reflect the stories and personalities of her brides-to-be. They are designed with a slow fashion, zero-waste circular approach. Yasmina mixes French and Asian inspirations and uses a wide range of techniques such as silk painting, plant dying, French haute couture embroidery and beading, to create for bold brides, looking for minimalist designs that showcase their personality.
法國時裝設計師Yasmina Viale-Fraine從小時候已在母親的工作室裡開始製作服裝。 2011年，她來到香港，並將對工作的熱愛轉變成atelierYVF，一間晚禮服和新娘時裝工作室。 Yasmina的訂製作品敍述了準新娘的故事和個性；而設計的方針是慢時尚和零浪費。 Yasmina融合了法國和亞洲的靈感，並運用了各種技術，例如絹畫、植物染色、法國高級時裝的刺繡和珠飾，為大膽的新娘創作，尋求能彰顯她們個性的簡約設計。
