PUBLIC MEND - FREE TEXTILES WORKSHOP
Location
About
Come along to repair and reimagine your clothes. This is a free opportunity to get together with people in your community and learn or advance valuable skills in mending and restorative textile practice. Hosted by Emma Johnston, a formally trained textiles artist at the ANU and informally taught by her nana. All skill levels are welcome; you will learn:
- Mending
- Tailoring
- Upcycling
- Sewing
- Patching & Embroidery
These workshops aim to foster a more conscious relationship with our clothes and to set people up with the skills and confidence to be involved in their manufacture and maintenance. All necessary materials are provided, including clothing to repair, but you are welcome to bring your own garments that you'd like to repair or upcycle.
