*Free* Mending Open Studio
Learn the skills to refresh, restore & re-use!
Upcoming dates:
Monday, November 23, 6-8pm
Each month, we offer free Mending Open Studio, a welcoming space where you can work on your mending pile or creative upcycling projects while getting guidance from experienced sewists and menders. Come gather new ideas, approaches, and techniques as you make progress on your own project — and let us help you bring renewed life to something in your home or closet.
What to Bring: Your own item to work on–clothing or textiles that need repair, embellishment, or a creative refresh work perfectly.
How It Works: This session is first come, first served. Simply arrive, sign in, and wait your turn for instructor guidance. The session will remain open during the scheduled times, and as you wait for assistance, you may work independently and chat with others.
We look forward to mending with you!
Note: Instructors will not mend items for you—they are here to provide support, ideas, and direction. We also may not have exactly what your project needs for repair, so plan to bring any items you may want to work with if they are specific (e.g. a particular color or type of thread, elastic, embroidery floss, zipper, etc.)
Ages 12+ may attend independently. Ages 6–11 years are welcome with an assisting adult. If both adult and child will work on their own projects, please purchase two spaces. If an adult is only assisting a child, please purchase one space.
We’re grateful for the generous support of the G.A. Foster Legacy Foundation, whose contribution allows us to offer this mending open studio at a low price right now.
