Learn basic textile mending skills and explore the significance of repair, both environmentally and through a Jewish lens.
Wednesday, March 25 | 6:00-8:00 pm – Makom (402 College St)
We’ll begin with a kosher, vegan dinner, followed by a short text study and discussion with Rabbi Aaron. Then, we’ll have an hour of hands-on learning to mend clothing with Shoresh educator Rebecca.
Bring your clothing and textiles that need a little love, and any yarn or materials you have that you’d like to work with.
You’ll receive a basic mending kit you can take home with you, including darning needles, a darning egg, and some yarn swatches you can choose from.
This is a beginner, introductory workshop; no experience necessary! Come learn some new skills, or enjoy an enriching community space to continue your learning.
Please try to arrive on time to maximize our workshop time.
