Held by Glasgow School of Art Future Skills in partnership with Generation of Waste this workshop will provide an introduction to traditional and creative mending skills. By participating you’ll be part of a global creative action resisting the cycle of excess through repair and reuse.  Together, we will explore our personal and collective memories of textile use and wear, learning practical mending skills to increase the longevity of our wardrobes.

It is suitable for anyone interested in re-thinking our approach to our material world and aims to pursue a more circular way of thinking about textiles. All materials will be provided and no prior experience of textile hand skills is required. 

Participants should bring along a personal item that they would like to work with to mend during the workshop.
