Los Angeles
Visible Mending - Elysian Park
Breathe new life into well loved garments.
Join us for a hands-on workshop where we’ll dive into the timeless craft of mending. Using technical outdoor jackets as our canvas, participants will learn how to repair fabric using a speedweave.
Speedweaves are a tool designed to patch holes with both function and beauty. Through guided instruction and live demonstrations, you’ll gain the confidence to transform damaged garments into wearable art.
Each guest will leave not only with new skills but also a personal speedweave kit to continue their mending journey at home.
