About this Event

The art of mending clothes for longevity, and the tradition of passing skills on to the next generation is a lost practice. With fast fashion taking over the garment industry and many of our elder family menders passing on, it is important for those with the knowledge to share their skills with the community. These mending circle workshops invite the community to learn 1-2 stitches or mending techniques from R.A.I.C.E.S. Fellow, Ariana Martinez-Cruz, and to participate in a discussion about fast fashion’s growing influence on our daily life, sustainability, and the importance of sharing this knowledge. Attendees will leave with new hand sewing skills and a mending kit.
