What happens when design stops being about products, and starts becoming about systems, stories, waste, value, and the future we’re building?
Join Dutch designer Noud Sleumer for Weaving Conversations, a hands-on Design Katha session exploring speculative design through making. Together, participants will transform discarded aluminium cans into woven objects while unpacking ideas around circular systems, informal economies, and material futures.
Part workshop. Part open conversation. Fully immersive.

One page. Endless styles. 🎨
From bold strokes to tiny details, every artist brought their own visual language into the mix and somehow, the page still works as one collective piece. That’s the fun of creating with the right tools.
Powered by the versatility of Atlas Color Sparx Gel Crayons, our students explored texture, layering, colour and character in completely different ways proving there’s no single formula for creativity. Just good ideas and the freedom to play with them.

“Can I touch you for a second?” learning curve enters the chat
Don’t worry, we make sure you face it here first, with the right guidance, the right tools, and just enough chaos to keep it interesting.
We handle the learning curve before it handles you.
Disclaimer: No designers were harmed in the making of this video. Only egos, slightly.

Her biggest design school hack: sketch for at least an hour every day.
Miss a day? Add 30 minutes to the next one.
Tomorrow she has to sketch for 38 hours and 30 minutes.
Design school math is different.

Day 2 really sealed it.
What started as rough ideas turned into full concepts, and you could see the confidence build in real time. More risk, more detail, more personality in every piece.
Big thanks to Atlas, our Learning Experience Partner, for backing the journey and keeping the energy high throughout.
Two days, countless ideas, and a whole lot of future designers in the making.

Day 1 came in strong.
From the first sketch to the first “wait this actually works” moment, it was all about exploring, experimenting, and getting comfortable with the process. Ideas were messy, bold, and very real.
Big shoutout to Atlas, our Learning Experience Partner, for showing up and powering the creativity.
Safe to say, Design Camp 2026 started exactly how it needed to.

Come with Nelith as he spends a day bringing a look to life, one stitch at a time.
From the quiet precision of construction to the small wins that make the process worth it, this is what fashion design really looks like behind the scenes. Not just sketches and ideas, but patience, problem-solving, and a whole lot of detail.
This is where concepts turn into collections.

Colombo, reimagined.
A city that became a stage. A movement that redefined Colombo’s story.
This was Sri Lanka Design Festival.
From stories to streets, from creators to communities, we didn’t just showcase design, we lived it.
This is what happens when a city creates together.
This is What’s Your Colombo.
