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!
