Jeanologia conducts masterclass at Amsterdam Jean School

Jeanologia, a Spanish company specialising in sustainable- technology for the jean industry, is teaching in the Blue lab used by Amsterdam Jean School, the most prestigious denim-school in the world. The company has conducted a masterclass on laser design for denim finishing to promote decontamination, automation, and efficiency in the denim industry.

The Blue Lab, the Jean School testing laboratory, offers training and workshops on technological innovation to students, manufacturers, brands, and designers who want to contribute in the transformation of the denim industry towards transparency and sustainability.

During the two days of the workshop given by Jeanologia Brainbox, Luis Górriz, the future denim talents have discovered the creative possibilities offered by the laser design and how to design finishes using the software of the Spanish company. Likewise, students have checked the importance of choosing the right fabric. Future denim talents have also discovered the G2 ozone technology involving a reduction of water, chemicals, and energy in the denim finishing process.

Górriz said, “Students have been particularly interested in the wide range of laser design and have learned to use tools like Light PP, Light Scraper or Light Ripper. Trainings like this are vital because Amsterdam is the epicentre of training future designers towards a sustainable and efficient model of denim production and now, they already know that replacing the dangerous chemical spreading of potassium permanganate and sandpaper is possible."
