Discover the art of visible mending in this engaging workshop designed for parents and children alike. You'll learn how to repair woollen, stretchy, and woven clothing using creative techniques such as sashiko, embroidery, and weaving mends. Bring along your moth-chomped or ripped items and transform them into unique, wearable art.
This workshop emphasizes valuing and extending the life of your clothes, reducing waste, and making a positive environmental impact. It's perfect for those interested in sustainable fashion and hands-on creativity.
The session covers mending various types of fabrics including woollen, stretchy, and woven materials like jeans. You'll be guided through visible mending methods that celebrate the repair rather than hiding it, making a statement about caring for your belongings.
Light refreshments will be provided to keep you energized as you work on your projects. No prior experience is necessary, just bring your damaged clothing and a willingness to learn.
The workshop will be held at the Good Food Emporium, a welcoming venue in the City of Casey. Directions are available on the event page, and the location is accessible by public transport and has parking options nearby.
