visible mending

Have you opened up your winter drawers to find moth holes in your favourite sweater? Been studying so hard you have worn holes in your elbows? Has your child got holey knees in their pants from crawling around the playground? This workshop helps you turn these textile catastrophes into a creative challenge. It keeps your clothes in circulation a little bit longer and also helps you learn about them too. In the class you will learn some basic techniques in visible mending and share your own methods and ideas with others. It’s a chance to be inspired for your mending projects and meet other creative menders in the community too.
