Discover the art of visible mending in this engaging workshop designed to breathe new life into your woollen, stretchy, and woven clothing.

Bring your moth-chomped or ripped items and learn how to transform them with sashiko, embroidery, and weaving techniques.
This session is perfect for parents who want to teach their children the value of caring for their belongings while contributing to environmental preservation. Enjoy light refreshments as you craft and connect with others who share your passion for mindful fashion.
