Join Ballina Shire Council and Corinne Wilson for a 3 hour hands-on workshop for beginners where you'll learn the skills and confidence to extend the life of your clothing in a unique and creative way.

In this workshop, you will learn the art of mending your clothing and other treasured textiles to enhance, rather than hide a hole or tear, and create a beautiful feature with a story to tell.

With 18 years of sewing and upcycling experience, Corinne will teach you the basics of visible mending with a variety of techniques to breathe new life into your favourite garments, while also reducing waste and promoting sustainability. By embracing the art of mending, you'll be joining a movement that's all about reducing our environmental footprint - one stitch at a time.

Bring up to 2 garments you would like to mend.

To ensure participants receive close care and guidance from the workshop tutor throughout the event, the number of participants is strictly limited to 10.
