Southern Slow: Embracing the Slow Pace of Design

Join southern artists, Sally Peek, Laura Ray and Leigh Magar, who embrace the new “slow design” ethos, to talk about the growing influence of locally designed and made fashion. An outgrowth of the “slow food” movement, “slow design” combines the enthusiasm of the popular DIY movement with traditional craft’s insistence on good design and technical excellence. These artists will talk about their sources of inspiration, connection to community, and interests in sustainability. Come and be inspired, voice your opinions, and go home knowing that shopping responsibly can be good for both people and the environment.
