Limited spaces, please book via Eventbrite.

Join us for a sociable visible mending circle for textiles at the Velocity café. We will be experimenting with decorative embroidery techniques for this session. Bring along a garment and get some technical support from artist Claire Macdonald to mend them yourself. Beginners are welcome and please note that this is a social mending circle with some technical support available but not a formal taught workshop. It is a chance to learn from each other, have a blether and enjoy doing some visible mending!

Materials and equipment are not necessary to attend but feel free to bring along any embroidery rings, fabric bits for patches, mending mushrooms, fabric markers, thimbles, crewel and darning needles, magnifiers or sewing lamps if you have them.

Tea and coffee will be available to purchase from 6 - 6.30pm.

There are limited spaces for the workshop so please only book if you are able to attend. Places are fully funded thanks to funding provided by the Highland Community Waste Partnership.

NB: One requirement of the funding is that we collect feedback from participants about the event. You will be asked to fill out a feedback form at the end of the session.

Photography: We will also take photographs during the session for sharing on social media and reporting purposes. By signing up, you are giving consent to having your photo taken. If you are not comfortable having your photograph taken, please let us know.

Attendance & cancellation policy: As places are fully funded, please only book a ticket if you know you are able to attend. If your plans change, you must cancel your ticket and let us know with at least 48 hours notice of the event start time so that others can attend.
