Visible Mending

In this One Day Workshop learn the art of Visible Mending! In a movement against throw away culture and fast fashion, learn how to pick up a needle and rediscover forgotten techniques and the joy of mending.

Visible Mending encourages you to:

-Reinforce ripped, torn, damaged areas with decorative stitches
-Demystify mending techniques and discover how these can be easily applied to old items to give them a fresh look
-Gather inspiration from each other as we learn and mend together!
