Art Night Out: Decorative Repair

Get more life from your textiles! Join us for a creative, hands-on workshop exploring the art of visible mending. Using colorful thread, fabric scraps, and simple hand-stitching techniques, you’ll learn how to create an artistic patch to repair worn or damaged textiles, or simply decorate something that needs new life. All while turning the garment into something beautiful and uniquely yours. Visible mending is more than a repair technique—it is a conscious, sustainable philosophy that celebrates the history of our garments rather than discarding them. You are highly encouraged to bring 1 to 2 personal items from home, such as denim, woven shirts, knitwear, or tote bags, that need some extra love. You can either mend, or simply adorn with a visible patch created in class. Practice materials will also be available if you prefer to build your skills before tackling a personal piece. All other materials will be provided. No sewing experience necessary, beginners are welcome. All materials and refreshments provided. This is a 21+ event.
