Textile Mending Workshop

Mending is an empowering sustainable practice with a long history that can extend the life of your clothes, household goods, and more. This collaborative workshop is an opportunity to learn to mend your tattered textiles by hand, or to use skills you already possess but haven’t yet applied to an item needing repair.
