At these workshops we'll have all our tools and materials available for you to work on any textile repairs or upcycling projects! We'll have the opportunity for patching, sashiko, felting, and darning.

We're working on a collaboration with the Wellington Tip Shop to reduce textile waste going to landfill! Some preloved items will be gifted by them which you're welcome to fix up and take home with you.

Every second Wednesday

5:30 - 7:30 PM

Reception, 128 Vivian Street

When it comes to the clothes we love, every rip, stain, and imperfection is an invitation to exercise agency, expression, and an opportunity to show the garment how much we appreciate it. 

This class is cared for by the whimsical Aisha, a multidisciplinary artist with a passion for empowering the mending process. For two Wednesday evenings each month, 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 place for you. In this reoccurring workshop we'll inspire each other to creatively care for those pieces we love!

This get together is also perfect for anyone who loves learning new skills. Techniques we'll cover are 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. We highly encourage bringing those clothes or other textile items that need some love and repair.

Single class tickets or monthly memberships are available - memberships will be open again beginning of February 2026. Both of these have variable pricing options; unwaged/student, waged, or generous. Please choose whichever option feels right for you and your circumstances!
