Visible Mending at Lark Design Make

Join us for a relaxed afternoon learning all things mending. Learn about the history of different mending techniques around the world and use vintage darning tools. Technique wise we'll cover darning techniques including traditional, surface and scotch darning on a darning loom and a variety of vintage mushrooms. We'll also cover Japanese mending techniques Sashiko and Boro and more freeform embroidery and patching techniques. Bring things to mend or leave with a range of samples. In an era where fast fashion is everywhere, to repair is to rebel! Learn techniques in a fun and experimental way, in good company.
