Radical Mending: Paired Repair

As a part of programming for the exhibition Radical Craft: Arts Education at Hull-House 1889-1935, the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum is partnering with The WasteShed to present their event series, “Radical Mending”. This includes “Paired Repair: a sewing gathering that highlights the role mending can play in a relationship. Bring along someone you care about (partner, spouse, family member, friend, etc.) and a garment that needs mending. Connect with your community while repairing the garments you bring as an act of care!

The goal of the “Radical Mending” workshops is to foster space for connection, to encourage sustainable everyday practices, and to educate one another in the history of the garment industry both past and present. The series will take place in the Residents’ Dining Hall at the Hull-House Museum. The cost of admission includes materials and a meal.
