Visible Mending for Creative Clothing Repair Workshop
15th May 2023 @ 10:00 - 12:00
£18
In the past, mending techniques such as darning were commonplace in the lifespan of a garment and taught widely.
This workshop is a brief introduction to darning and how to use it in an intentionally visible way.
Once a craft that was made to be invisible, I want to share the joy of repairing in colourful and creative ways to wear your repairs as a badge of pride whilst honouring the craft of the traditional techniques.
Beginner level – no experience needed.
All materials provided but an item of clothing to be repaired can be brought along.
Access, 1st floor lift available.
Maximum participants 8. A ‘Woven in Time’ event within Frome Local History Festival (12-20 May 2023).
Adults 16+
