Introduction:
Embrace the Art of Visible Mending
Join me for an inspiring and hands-on workshop where we explore the beauty of repairing clothing through beadwork, embellishments, and traditional Japanese stitching techniques like Sashiko. Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of kintsugi—which celebrates the beauty of repair—this workshop encourages you to transform damaged or worn garments into stunning, one-of-a-kind pieces.
What You’ll Learn:
- Learn how to repair & reinforce fabric using interlining, fusing & patching where necessary
- Creative ways to extend the life of your clothing while making it unique
Why It Matters:
This workshop is perfect for anyone interested in sustainable fashion, embroidery, beading, or creative mending—no prior experience necessary! Whether you're reviving a beloved piece or learning a new craft, you'll leave with practical skills and a renewed appreciation for slow fashion.
What to Bring
- Bring some options of repairs and upcycles - I can guide you on at least one piece to complete in class. You will have access to over 25 ranges of beads and threads with the option to buy more specialist crystals and stones on the day for a small charge. All other equipment included.
