Description

Join us for MENDtalks, a relaxed and social mending session. Bring along a treasured item of clothing and learn visible mending techniques that give your garments a new lease of life.

These sessions offer a welcoming space to connect with others, share stories, and discuss sustainability while exploring creative ways to repair and reimagine clothing. No experience is necessary – just bring something you’d like to mend and an open mind!
