Get a new style and new skills! Celebrate Mend in Public Day by learning to repair your clothes and rejecting fast fashion and textile waste with a clothing swap. After the morning’s facilitated workshop, we will host a pay-what-you-can mending circle for folks to gather and mend in community, featuring a short presentation from Vanessa Warne on the history of fabric repairs and repurposing. Whether you come for the whole day or just drop in for an hour, you’ll be sure to polish up your mending skills and do some good for the planet.
