6pm – 9pm

Learn how to mend your well-loved cottons and denims using a mini weaving loom. Based on a design that initially emerged in the 1940s, DMC’s weaving loom is a tool intended to make weaving accessible to all. In this workshop Shelley Zetuni of Sewingsmith will teach you everything you need to know about speed weaving, providing tips and tricks to make your mends look amazing! 

Shelley has been making and mending all her life and worked previously as a hat maker. During the uncertainty of the lockdown, as a meaningful distraction, Shelley set up Sewingsmith and began to teach others how to repair and care for their clothes with visible mending techniques. 

All materials will be supplied including DMC looms, denim and cotton samples. No prior experience in darning, knitting, or needlework is required. 

Please note you can only book one of three mending sessions on Thursday 13th February. Each workshop has a different objective and will require the full allocated hours to follow the guidance of the mending instructor.

Tickets are priced at £15.
