Visible Mending Workshop

This workshop led by Celia Pym, will explore textile repair and specifically visible mending techniques. You will learn how and why you might visibly repair an item, large or small, and consider also the tenderness and care involved in mending.

The aim of the workshop is to practice mending techniques on knit. You will learn about artists working with repair, develop skills in woven and fake ‘knitted’ darning most useful for knitted garments. There will also be an opportunity to work on repairing your own well-loved garments.

Please bring along any damaged knitted items that you would like to discuss repair options for.
Darning materials will be provided.
No previous darning, knitting, needle based experience is necessary
