Your Grandma probably knew a thing or two about making things last. Join Ilka White for a one-day workshop that honours those skills and adds a contemporary twist to patching and darning your favourite textiles. Mending can become an opportunity for wonderful decoration,alongside saving money and reducing landfill. Earn yourself some serious sustainability street cred on the quest for zero waste! Some tools and materials will be provided. Bring along your own worn clothes and home cloths for a special dose of creative TLC.
