Art serves as a universal language to tell stories and emotions. In this workshop you will learn a new way to tell stories while extending the life of your textiles.

Visible mending is more than just fixing a tear or hole in fabric; it's an opportunity to infuse personality, story, and sustainability into our clothing and belongings

Participants will learn how to approach mending as an art form, embracing imperfections and celebrating the character that emerges through repair. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or new to the world of needlework, this workshop offers something for everyone.
