About
Do you have a favorite article of clothing with a hole in it, but can’t bear to let it go? Visible Mending is a form of repairing textiles that is deliberately left visible. The aim of this method of mending is to both fix the item, and to create something beautiful and interesting where the repair has happened, rather than trying to make the repair invisible. Visible mending can be done in many different ways, we will be showing participants how to use stitching and embroidery to mend clothing.
Bring an article of clothing, or we will have some fabric to learn with. All supplies are provided.
No pre-registration needed. All ages are welcome, but this activity is best suited for ages 12 and up. Please ensure an adult is present with children.
Please use the buzzer code 22 when you arrive for entry.

Organizer
Manitoba Craft Council
The Manitoba Craft Council is for people who love contemporary craft: professional artists and artisans, collectors and connoisseurs, DIYers and armchair enthusiasts. It’s for people who value the originality and quality of the handmade, who find meaning in making. It’s for the dreamers and schemers who seek to reinterpret the material and cultural traditions of the past through a contemporary lens. It’s for people who have to forge, carve, weave, fold, sculpt, knit. And for their friends and supporters. It’s for you. See, smell, touch, explore the myriad expressions of contemporary craft in Manitoba and be part of a community that is shaped, motivated, and defined by its love of craft.
