This workshop with Ruth Katzenstein Souza will provide the opportunity for attendees to bring a textile or piece of clothing to repair, mend, embroider, patch, or transform.
There will be time to share what you brought and explore techniques and materials that have been used historically and share some ideas about creative, visible mending.
We are living in an increasingly disposable culture so we will focus on the idea of treasuring what we have and discuss the idea of what is “enough”.
Please bring a small sewing kit with scissors, needles, thimble and thread as well as any particular materials you want to work with.
We will provide some fabrics, threads and tools as well as books to look through for inspiration.
Fee:
