Mending With Intention (Artist Workshop)

There’s beauty in the broken - and purpose in the repair. On Sunday, June 29th, join multidisciplinary artist Zac Banik for the next Co/Lab Art/Lab Alum Workshop at the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education (@ojmche). This hands-on workshop will explore the art of visible mending - including darning, patching, and felting - alongside rich conversation about the spiritual potential of brokenness, how we can wear our scars with purpose, and what it truly means to repair the world.

Visible mending embraces imperfection. It’s a practice that rebuilds with creativity, celebrating damage as part of a garment’s - and our own - story. While we stitch and patch, we’ll reflect on how repair can be both personal and collective.
