The written part of my artisan work is about the history and the present of fibre hemp,<br />
the benefits of hemp compared to other plant fibers, different species of hemp and the<br />
many ways to use it.<br />
When I was reading about the history of hemp, I was surprised how common fibre plant<br />
it was earlier. Nowadays using hemp fibre is rare, but there have been some signs of revival<br />
of interest. It has many advantages compared to cotton, for example, so it would<br />
be reasonable to increase its use.<br />
The practical part includes plant dyeing of hemp fabrics and sewing four pieces of<br />
clothing. The dress and the long-armed, knee-length shirt for myself are made of thin<br />
hemp fabric and the trousers for myself and for my customer are made of thick fabric.<br />
The clothes are suitable for everyday use due to their material. The dress and the shirt<br />
could also be used on special occasions because of their design.<br />
