Workshop Details 🌿

Upcycle clothing items with the guidance of experienced Tinkerers in the Visible Mending of Clothing Workshop!

The Tinkerage will share some nifty creative stitching skills they use to repair and revamp textiles or clothing. Textiles are one of our biggest waste problems and we need to keep them in the use-loop. 

You will learn kantha hand stitch combined with patching to breath new life into your garments and make them stronger. No experience necessary, everyone is welcome. Join the visible mending revolution!

Upcycle your own item into something unique! Bring along your own textile item to upcycle or visibly mend or choose an item from the textile bin!

Materials for the workshop (needles, pins, thread, offcuts of fabric and scissors) will be provided.
