Softislab is a platform for kind, curious and experimental activities with textiles, clothes and fashion. We organize courses and workshops on topics ranging from collective clothes-making, natural dyeing and pigment making to multisensorial meaning-making with soft materials. In addition to educational activities, we aim to provide professionals opportunities for artistic work and transdisciplinary collaborations.
