Are you a mender who would like to build your stash of textile patches and yarns?
Take part in a 2-hour workshop for community repair volunteers and mending enthusiasts of all skill levels. Textiles from student remnants, industry swatches and post-consumer textiles will be provided to cut and press for patching as well as weaving room yarn offcuts to roll onto cards for darning.
Discussion will centre on knowledge exchange regarding mending tools, materials, and hacks with everyone invited to share and learn.
Interested local community repair volunteers unable to attend are invited to get in touch in advance of the workshop so an “order” can be prepared to assist your community work.
We will provide: Fabrics, yarn, tools from RMIT’s Repair Cafe kit.
Please bring with you: Your favourite mending tools and materials to share or surplus to pass on.
