Visible Mending Workshop at Blind Barber

Restore what you already own — and make it better than before.

Join us inside Blind Barber’s speakeasy for a hands-on Denim Visible Mending Workshop designed to transform worn denim garments into intentional, elevated pieces. Bring a well-loved denim item in need of repair and learn practical stitching techniques that highlight, rather than hide, its history.

This is a beginner friendly workshop. You’ll receive guided instruction, work directly on your garment, and leave with a visibly repaired denim piece. Plus the knowledge to repeat the process at home.

• Step-by-step instruction in visible mending techniques
• Hands-on repair time with guidance
• A cocktail to enjoy while you work
• A refined, intimate setting that makes the process social and inspiring

Visible mending is more than repair — it’s design, sustainability, and personal expression combined. Limited seats to ensure individual attention.

Bring one denim garment. Leave with a skill set. Return to our next workshop with confidence.
