Come explore with us the many ways we can use this practice to create beautiful, personal touches to the clothing we already know and love! This 2 week workshop focuses on the valuable skill of visible mending garments with the hope to sustain their lifespan and longevity. We will focus on the sustainable side of this practice, while exploring concepts such as community building, identity, and personal style.

“Mending” has a strong connotation with altering or repairing something that already exists. However there is also an element of healing, rebuilding, and reviving. This practice has many dimensions to it; a buildable, lifelongful technical skill, an act of resistance to the consumption of fast fashion, and an expression of healing and connecting through art.
