MEND WITH FRIENDS is all about sharing our mending skills and stories with one another, in a relaxed environment. This is not a taught workshop but there will be someone on-hand to share their skills with you. Even if you have never picked up a needle and thread before, we’d love you to come along and learn from the community!
We would love menders and aspiring menders of all ages and abilities to join us, but all children must be accompanied by an adult. As the activities involve sharps and small objects, this may not be suitable for very young children (although please know that small children/babies are very welcome to be with us!).
These are drop-in sessions, with basic mending materials and equipment provided. There is no charge to take part in Mend With Friends, but all donations help us to cover our running costs.
