Artist and mending expert Celia Pym hosts a Mending Workshop at STORE Store in late February. The class explores textile repair techniques on knitted and wool textiles, including skills in woven and fake ‘knitted’ darning.

There will also be an opportunity to work on repairing any of your own worn and holey sweaters, socks or wool accessories. Please bring along any damaged knitted items that you would like to discuss repair options for. Darning materials will be provided. No previous experience necessary.

The workshop is open to a maximum of 10 participants (age 16+) on a first come, first served basis. Attendance at the workshop costs £40 (£30 students) with all proceeds supporting the STORE Store After School Club for local state school pupils.
