Visible Mending Workshop

Info

• WHAT will be done

Description:

Do you have a pair of cosy woollen socks or a favourite pair of jeans in need of some attention? Join local artist Lyndsey McDougall to master the art of visible mending.

Bring along a piece of clothing in a medium-weight woven or knitted fabric (such as a blouse, pair of jeans or jumper) and learn the basics of darning and repair. in this workshop you’ll find out how to revive old favourites, mend damage, and relax using the therapeutic process of visible mending.

This is a hand-sewing class for all abilities. Equipment and materials will be provided. You can bring along an item of clothing or simply practice your stitches for application on future repair projects.

Important Information

Date: Saturday 26th November 2022

Time: 3pm – 6pm

Venue: The Gallery at The Playhouse, 5-7 Artillery Street Derry~Londonderry, BT48 6RG

Refreshments will be provided including snacks, tea, coffee and water. Please feel free to also bring your own.

Do I need to bring anything?

We do recommend that you bring an item of clothing in need of mending so that you can work on this during the workshop, but scrap material to practice on will be provided.

Accessibility

Information on building accessibility can be found on The Playhouse website at: https://www.derryplayhouse.co.uk/visiting-us

Please get in touch with paula.larkin@derryplayhouse.com if you would like us to source further accessibility including BSL/ISL translation, or to confidentially discuss any way that we can make this workshop a more inclusive space for you.

The Artitude: Climate, Culture & Circularity project is committed to inclusivity and we understand that the lifting of requirements to wear masks indoors at present has lead to the exclusion of some disabled and chronically ill people and their carers from public spaces. If community mask-wearing would make this a safer space for you to attend, please let us know and we will make this ask of participants while protecting your anonymity.

Artitude: Climate, Culture & Circularity is a partnership project between The Playhouse, Zero Waste North West, Northern Ireland Resources Network, Queen’s University Belfast and Derry City and Strabane District Council, funded by the National Lottery Climate Action Fund.
