This month we are learning sashiko, an embroidery like practice which reinforces textiles and can also be cute & decorative.
See you at 5:30pm on Wednesday 8th & 22nd with those well loved items

When it comes to the clothes we love, every rip, stain, and imperfection is an invitation to exercise agency, expression, and an opportunity to show the garment how much we appreciate it.
This class is cared for by the whimsical Aisha, a multidisciplinary artist with a passion for empowering the mending process. For two Wednesday evenings each month, Aisha will introduce us to a different technique for reviving our beloved textile pieces. If you're like us and have a box of clothing in need of repairs that never seems to empty... this is the club for you. In this reoccurring workshop we'll inspire each other to creatively care for those pieces we love! This club is also perfect for anyone who loves learning new skills. Techniques we'll cover are lino printing, patching, darning, felting, embroidery, beading, sashiko, fabric painting and more! All materials and tools are supplied at each class - but you are welcome to bring your own. We highly encourage bringing those clothes or other textile items that need some love and repair.
There is no need to attend every class. We can catch you up on the skill at which ever class you choose to join us at. There are single class tickets or monthly sign ups available. Both of these have variable pricing options, unwaged/student, waged, and generous. Please choose whichever option feels right for you and your circumstances!
