📣 WORKSHOP 📣 Unleash your creativity with Anne Warburton in this artsy mending workshop! Learn a variety of methods to revive your beloved torn or discoloured clothing and textiles to give them new life using fabric, stitch, and more. As with the Japanese art of “Kintsugi”, we will highlight the mend instead of trying to hide it, while keeping these old and damaged items out of landfill.
When? Wednesday, April 2, from 1pm – 4pm
Where? The MVTM`s Millworkers` Learning Centre
How much? $60 to register + $5 supply fee paid directly to the teacher.
Register today! https://mvtm.ticketsplease.ca/product/artsy-mending/
