About Me

Hi! I'm Julie Flusche, a reuse artist and advocate for sustainability in the craft community and beyond. My work focuses on reclaiming textile and fast fashion waste to transform it back into something beautiful and inspiring.

At the heart of my studio practice is the creation of tactile and textured fabric art using fast fashion denim jeans, clothing and other textiles no longer suitable for their original use.

I intentionally use the slow process of hand sewn fabric collage, sculpture and embroidery to infuse the materials with greater meaning, a process that often contrasts with its mass produced origin. Reclaiming and elevating these materials is a creative challenge that continues to inspire me to find the extraordinary hidden within the everyday.
