Please join us for a very special workshop led by multidisciplinary artist CJ Ghatt.

About the workshop:
In this practical workshop you will learn how to strengthen & transform the imperfections of your clothing, adding value and bringing new life through the beautiful practice of visible mending.

You will be guided through the process of mending with needle and thread, and will learn a few basic hand-sewing techniques that can be used to make simple repairs on old or damaged clothing that might have holes, stains or areas that need strengthening.

This technique is great for woven fabrics, but can also be used for knitwear. So whether you're wanting to mend a hole in your favourite jeans or reinforce socks or a sweater, come and learn about this act of caring for your clothing.

Provided:

Sewing needles

Scissors

An assortment of thread and fabric swatches to practice on


What to bring:

You're welcome to bring along an item of clothing that you would like to repair and matching thread if you have some, otherwise a range of threads and swatches will be provided. No prior experience required, however, please note this technique can can take some time to develop so it’s a good idea to start with something small.

Limited places available. Please book to secure your spot.
