‘Together from Fragments’ Workshop

5à7 partnered with TMU’s Sustainable Fashion Initiative to host Together from Fragments (March 2025), a hands-on workshop where students dismantled factory-made lanyards, carded the fibres, and spun new yarn—repurposing Ryerson-branded materials as part of a campus recycling initiative. Participants received looms made from acrylic offcuts, and the yarns produced were later woven into sample textiles. You can find more information about the workshop here, along with background on how the initiative began.

5à7 is a creative initiative which is dedicated to reimagining textile waste through sustainable material deconstruction and reconstruction. Inspired by the collaborative process and outcome of the Together from Fragments workshop, 5à7 was co-founded by professor-student duo (Tricia Crivellaro & Ashwini Joseph) from Toronto Metropolitan University. It aims to serve as a platform for experimentation, collaboration, and circular design thinking. 5à7 encourages the belief that every last bit of waste holds potential and can be given a second life and purpose beyond the landfills.
