Do you have any clothing that has rips, pesky stains or holes in it that you’d like to mend? Join Mariko Sugimori (Instagram @Mona_and_Zoe) at the Woods Hole Public Library for an introduction to visible mending where you’ll learn creative techniques—including patching and darning—to give your well-loved clothing a new life! This free workshop will take place on Saturday, September 28, from 3:00-5:00 PM. Registration is required as space is limited!
People of all skill levels are welcome to this course. All the mending supplies you need to get started will be provided by the Woods Hole Public Library. You are also welcome to bring any items of clothing that are in need of mending, but that’s not required.
Mariko hopes that after this class, participants can take these newly acquired skills to curate a more sustainable wardrobe by increasing the life of their clothing and keeping it out of the landfill. To register for this workshop, call the Woods Hole Public Library at 508-548-8961 or emailing whpl_mail@clamsnet.org.
About Mariko: I’ve recently been exploring various methods of visible repair with kintsugi and textile mending, in addition to the repairs for friends/neighbors. I have really enjoyed empowering people to extend the life of their things and reduce waste, and am interested in trying to find ways to make mending a larger part of my life and our community.
