Dates: Mar 17 Instructor: Jules Kowalski In this workshop students will learn to mend, patch, and adorn worn cloth with hand-stitching. Students will be introduced to a variety of visible mending techniques, including traditional embroidery stitching, darning, basic patchworking techniques, and the rich history behind different canonized mending styles. We will combine these different techniques to create a unique mending composition on your garment or textile, both personalizing it and repairing it, all at once! Students are encouraged to bring garments or samples in need of mending, as well as beloved scraps and adornments to include in the mending process. Please be mindful that we will be handsewing, and to not bring materials that will be very thick, sturdy and/or difficult to handsew. The After Workshops are a series of high quality hands-on classes, at low cost and low commitment. Materials, skills and fun supplied. -- Our classes are designed to focus on a learned skill rather than a final product. At TAC, our mission is to provide skills and knowledge for a lifetime!
