TURNING DRAWINGS INTO WEARABLE ART
The process
new creations
how it all started
technology x craft
Flaming June is an eco conscious clothing brand. I am turning my drawings and photographs into code for a computerised embroidery machine to read and generate on clothes, tapestries and a variety of textiles. I am using this techniques to think about the future of mark marking, making sculptural, 3D drawings and wearable art. Interested in the intersections between technology and craft, I am thinking about the history of craft whilst imagining new artistic languages.
MANIFESTO
Flaming June is dedicated to creating sustainable, bespoke clothing with a focus on
eco-conscious practices. Firstly, a huge proportion of the clothing is up-cycled second hand clothes, to prioritise recycling over mass consumption. Secondly, we also offer a service to embroider your existing clothes. These two methods aim to give new life to pre-loved items. We also recycle our materials as much as possible and create badges from all of our scrap materials.

new pronoun badges
made from recycled materials
When I make clothes, the process generates quite a few scrap materials, for example the interfacing backing paper, scraps of fabric and also material experiments. Through making these badges alongside my clothes, I can sandwich all of these scrap materials together and then embroider pronouns on them so that I can reuse all of these materials in a way that doesn’t feel as wasteful. As I’m making more and more clothes, I’m super conscious of trying to be as eco-friendly as I can and I hope in this way I can move towards being more of a zero-waste maker.
how to look after your garments
The embroidery is durable due to the amount of stitches, so it is best to wash on 30 degrees and iron it afterwards to help keep the design looking its best.
