Darning Workshop

Learn to darn an item of clothing using the woven darning technique. This versatile method is great for knit or woven textiles, it can be used to patch holes, cover stains, and reinforce worn areas. Bring along an item to mend or practice on a sample piece while Lorna guides you in choosing the right tools and materials, and shows you step by step how to make a beautiful lasting repair.

Lorna is a visible mending teacher and artist specialising in accessible creative workshops that support mental health. Using traditional mending techniques and contemporary embroidery to visibly repair and extend the lives of clothing and textiles, Lorna creates spaces where sustainability, creativity, and people flourish together.
