In this 3-hour workshop, Clara will introduce you to the art of visible mending! Visible mending is an embroidery technique that consists in darning your clothes in a visible way. This creative art aims to highlight the traces of time, to make your garment unique, and to live in peace with your ecological conscience.
You will learn several stitches and techniques that will allow you to know how to repair our jeans, our sweaters, or to personalize our t-shirts:
