Make-and-Mend upcycling workshop

Inspired by the exhibition Costing the Earth, upcycle, repair and re-love your old clothes with Cat Frances from textile experts Material Worth.
Give your old clothes and fabrics new life, in a space where you can slow down, make, and connect. We’ll celebrate the art of repair and reuse – proving that mending is not just practical, it’s creative, joyful, and full of meaning.
No experience required, just bring your enthusiasm and creativity, with a chance to learn basic sewing skills. You can bring a piece of old clothing to repair, or make use of the fabrics provided. We’ll also provide thread and tools.
Free, drop in.
