For ages 10+, open to all level artists with no experience necessary
Learn the art of visible mending—a creative and sustainable way to repair your favorite garments. Using hand-stitching techniques inspired by Japanese boro and sashiko traditions, you’ll practice patching, reinforcing, and embellishing worn fabric with intention. This is slow stitching as meditation and self-expression, all while keeping clothing out of the landfill. No sewing experience necessary—just bring something in need of mending and a willingness to stitch outside the lines.
