Visible Mending Workshop with Dizzy Studios
Related Events
In honor of Blazing A Trail: Dorothy Waugh’s National Parks Posters, join Poster House and Dizzy Studios for a hands-on workshop where we’ll dive into the timeless, sustainable craft of mending. Bring your well-loved garments and learn how to repair them using a Speedweve, a tool designed to patch holes in a practical but beautiful way. Through guided instruction and live demonstrations, you’ll gain the confidence to transform damaged garments from worn to adorned. Each participant will leave with new skills and a personal Speedweve kit so they can continue their mending journey at home.
Morning Session: 11am-1:30pm
Afternoon Session: 2:30-5pm
