Creative Repair (Visible Mending) workshop Durham

Creatively repair clothing, making it uniquely yours. Make clothing last longer, helping the planet

Creative Repair or visible mending is the art of repairing clothing and textiles with the intention of the repair being seen, celebrating the fabric and history of the textiles. Visible mending lengthens the life of fabrics, in turn caring for our environment and planet.

Creative repair techniques are also excellent to update those garments we all have that just aren't 'me' anymore but too good to get rid of.

This workshop will introduce you to a selection of creative repair techniques to inspire future repairs or updating garments that just aren't you anymore.

You'll create a series of mini samples exploring a range of creative repair skills. If you would like to bring a garment to repair please feel free, although this is not necessary.

All materials are included. Suitable for all levels of experience, including beginners through to the more accomplished embroiderer.

A carefully curated gift box will be given to each participant to enable to creativity to continue after the workshop has finished. The contents of each gift box will vary.

The workshop will run from 2- 5 at The Weigh To Shop, Durham. The shop will be closed to the public during the workshop. However, you will be able to browse and the lovely products and buy refreshments from the café counter. It's a workshop and private shopping experience!
