Meret from Rethrindle CIC will be leading a clothes mending/modifying workshop for all UWE students. Bring along old items of clothing you would like to repair/upcycle and learn how to give them an extended life! All students are welcome to come along, regardless of experience in textile work. The session will be hands on and relaxed, so if you'd just like to chat while exploring a new skill, you'd be totally welcome!
