An introduction to the exciting technique of visible mending.

Apply visible mending to repair an item of your choice, that you will need to bring on the day.
This short workshop will briefly cover principles of sustainability,up cycling,zero waste and highlight some of the names of makers that have embraced this technique as a way of work as well as their contribution to a less wasteful lifestyle. You will be also given some handouts with information on various mending techniques for you to explore.
Please bring your scissors or snippers for cutting the thread, darning needles and your wool garnment to repair. Feel free to bring any woolen thread in the colours that you wish to use, however several threads will be provided.
