Mending is so much more than just making do! Visible mending is a wonderful way to reduce our impact on the planet while expressing creativity and honouring the histories of the everyday objects that are closest to us.

In this workshop we will take a relaxed and meditative approach to creating - immersing ourselves in the powerful possibilities of regeneration that mending affords.

Participants are invited to bring along a treasured garment (or another textile) that has seen better days, and explore a range of techniques to darn, patch and strengthen fabrics, to extend their life story and add meaning and beauty to important everyday objects. Everyone will be supported to make mends that reflect their personal style, and a wide range of tools, threads, patching fabrics and inspiration will be supplied.
