Mending & Embroidery Workshop

Join MATNAS at Original Story store for another workshop from the Gathered Workshop Series.

Mending & Embroidery Workshop:

An evening dedicated to extending the life of what is already here. Join us for a community mending meet-up focusing on visible repair and the practice of darning.

Bring a garment that needs attention—something with a small hole, a rip, or a stain. We will guide you through practical methods to reinforce and personalize your clothes, sharing techniques you can easily use at home. Tools, materials, and light refreshments will be provided in the studio; just bring a piece you want to keep around.

About Gathered Workshop Series:

The Gathered Workshop series is a monthly creative workshop where, each session, we explore new ways to observe our surroundings and uncover inspiration in the materials already around us. Together, we’ll investigate what can be gathered from our natural environment, such as: waste materials, found objects, local techniques, and learn new practices from the people in our community, to create independently and intentionally. The series highlights that meaningful creation doesn’t require extensive resources or reaching beyond our immediate environment; instead, we can make powerful work by embracing what we already have.
