About this event

  • 2 hours 30 minutes

Visible Mending highlights and celebrates the repair process. It is a sustainable way to increase the longevity of the clothes you love and own in a fun and mindful way.

In this session we will cover patching, sashiko stitching, various types of darning, as well as covering a variety of creative embroidery stitches.

You are welcome to bring any clothes that need mending, but your tutor, Kim, will have lots of fabrics on which to try out the techniques.

Cost : £30 per person - includes materials and equiptment usage

Organised by

The Craft House was established in 2016 in Saltaire by April Chamberlain, who continues to manage the business. Having started in Saltaire, The Craft House is now run from new, larger, premises at 109-111 Main Street, Bingley. We have a lovely ground floor cafe and welcoming workshop spaces on the first floor (reached by stairs with two handrails). We offer a vibrant programme of art, craft and textile workshops and courses for adults, enabling you to develop existing skills as well as try new activities. Working closely with a team of talented artist/maker tutors, we provide expertly-run classes in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. We cater for a range of skill levels, from first-time participants to people with existing skills (including other professional artists and makers looking to develop their techniques). Our emphasis is on encouraging creativity and enjoyment whilst passing on key skills. We also cater for private parties and events - please telephone us or call into the cafe to discuss. Please note that all our events are subject to us achieving minimum booking requirements, as we need to ensure they are commercially viable for our tutors - if we have to cancel an event, we will refund your ticket and give you as much notice as possible.
