Learn a new skill and prevent your beloved garments from going to waste 

In this workshop learn how to darn an item of clothing, a technique to repair holes in clothing. Artist Bronwen Jones practises this technique visibly as a way to reclaim our beloved garments and prevent from going to waste; you’re welcome to practise as visibly or invisibly as you like. During the workshop you will be encouraged to think about the sentimental and emotional value of your garments and share stories while darning together.

You must bring a garment to repair. Darning is best practised on thick knits, such as a sweater, scarf, socks, or blanket. All other materials will be provided and no experience is necessary.

About the facilitator:
Bronwen Jones is an artist and textile repairer. In her practice she mends clothes for/with the public as a community-based practice which initiates conversations on care, intimacy, value, and ownership.

This workshop takes place in ‘Create.’
