Every Child Challenge – Home Education Session

In this open-ended session you can learn a whole host of repairing techniques, including patching, various styles of decorative darning, adding buttons as well as creative embroidery techniques that can be incorporated into your mending. This will include different embroidery stitches, sashiko techniques, boro, kantha and more!

You’ll be able to try out different materials and mending equipment, including historic darning tools. These techniques have fascinating cultural histories and over the years have been used to not only mend clothes, but as a social activity. We encourage parents and children to work together to be creative together, learn together and from each other. If you have your own mending techniques we encourage you to share them with us.

This workshop occurs in a gallery setting and can be a busy bustling environment! It’s likely that everyone will be working on their own unique piece of work and will be a creative process rather than a step by step technique.

This is a free event, but donations are very welcome.
