Autor/Autorin: Taplick Therese
Therese Taplick was born on 21 June 1985 in Berlin-Pankow and completed her master's degree in design at the HTW in late 2014 with a thesis on `HempMade´. Her childhood was shaped by nature, art, fashion and foreign cultures, which she later freely incorporated into her fashion collections. Her focus is primarily on the useful plant hemp.
The title of the master's thesis `HempMade´ is composed of the two English words "hemp” and `handmade,´ which means `made from hemp.´ This thesis provides an overview of the many uses of the hemp plant. The reference book `HempMade´ aims to inform and educate readers about one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world and to highlight its multifaceted properties through visual impressions. In her work, author Therese Taplick focuses in particular on hemp as a natural raw material and its historical uses. The aim is to create a new awareness of this extraordinary plant, as hardly any other plant has such ecological and valuable potential as hemp.
