Visible Mending Workshop
Learn how to patch or darn damaged clothes or knitwear where the patch becomes a badge of honour that rejects fast fashion
In this hands-on workshop led by artist Annette Bruton, you'll learn the basics of visible mending — patching and darning damaged clothes and knitwear in a way that celebrates the repair rather than hiding it.
Visible mending treats wear and damage not as something to be ashamed of, but as an opportunity. A well-placed patch or a carefully darned hole becomes a badge of honour — a small, stitched act of resistance against the throwaway culture of fast fashion.
No experience is needed. Just bring something that needs a little love, and we'll guide you through the techniques to give it a new lease of life.
