Visible Mending Inspired by Japanese Boro (one-day workshop)

with Christine Green

Saturday 19 September | 10am - 4pm

£60 std | £55 members

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Christine has developed a style of patching inspired by Japanese Boro, patching on to a piece of backing fabric or a garment and using hand stitching to build up layers of fabric. Students will stitch either a panel that can be turned into a variety of items (phone case, bag, cushion, throw etc) at home or patch/embellish a garment of non stretchy fabric of their own, eg. jeans, jacket skirt.

She take a relaxed approach to her crafts and encourage her students to do the same whilst developing their techniques and style, and providing them with individual support as they grow in confidence.

WHAT TO BRING

Sewing tools and material will be provided, however students with their own kit may want to bring it along, along with their own threads and fabrics. If you have a garment of non-stretch fabric (ie jeans, a jacket, shirt etc) you may want to bring it along too to patch onto it during the workshop. There is a coffee bar for snacks and drinks onsite, but participants may want to bring a packed lunch too.
