Give your old clothes a new lease of life! Join me to explore the wonderful world of visible mending and find inspiration for your own creative fixes.

Repairing worn and broken clothing is both practical and environmentally-friendly, but it can also be fun, creative and personal. From sashiko to crochet, Steph will explain the basic principles of visible mending and share examples. Her talk will be followed by a short taster session where you can practice patching with applique and embroidery techniques. This event is for over 18s only.

This event is organised by MarketPlace Arts as part of FenCreators Weekend of Making. The event is free, but registration is required via their TitcketTailor page.

ABOUT MARKETPLACE ARTS

MarketPlace Arts are a community of creative people and partners across Fenland and West Suffolk. We believe the arts have the power to bring people together and make this part of the world better for everyone.

We create exciting projects in Fenland and West Suffolk, working closely with local communities. We work across seven market towns, from Brandon, Mildenhall, and Newmarket in West Suffolk to Chatteris, March, Whittlesey, and Wisbech in Fenland. We aim to bring people together through creativity, making inspiring events and activities easy to access where they live.

We bring diverse creative experiences to communities, including the likes of festivals, art trails, hands-on workshops, light shows and more. At the heart of everything we do is community collaboration, with local voices and stories shaping each experience.
