This class is cared for by the whimsical Aisha, a multidisciplinary artist with a passion for empowering the mending process. Each month on Wednesday evenings Aisha will introduce us to a different technique for reviving our beloved textile pieces. If you're like us and have a box of clothing in need of repairs that never seems to empty... this is the club for you. With three events a month we'll inspire each other to creatively care for those pieces we love! This club is also perfect for anyone who loves learning new skills. Techniques we'll cover are lino printing, patching, darning, felting, embroidery, beading, sashiko, fabric painting and more! All materials and tools are supplied at each class - but you are welcome to bring your own and we highly encourage bringing a textile item (or many!) to fix up.
In August we're lino printing!
Class 01: 13th August
In this class we'll get an introduction to lino printing on fabric and best practice for using this process to cover stains. Pre cut designs and all other tools are supplied. Please bring either clothing you would like to print on or some fabric scrap to make lino printed patches!
Class 02: 20th August
At this class Aisha will take us through the process of designing and cutting our own lino to print with! You're welcome to keep going with the pre cut designs as well. Lino and carving tools will be supplied.
Class 03: 27th August
This class will be open to what you want to work on! Bring in larger project items, print with the lino cuts you made in the previous week, or cut some fresh ones!
There is no need to attend every class. We can catch you up on the skill at which ever class you choose to join us at.
Single Class or monthly passes are available on the Micro Mill website! Sliding scale pricing as always!
