An extremely visible mending workshop with Annie Taylor, Co-Founder of The Profanity Embroidery Group. Bring along your favourite shirt with curry down the front, that much loved skirt that got ripped on the rickety pub chair, the jeans that let in a little too much air - and we'll fashion a bright and beautiful mend. Not the neatest, and certainly not invisible, but an attention grabbing solution that will make you smile and breathe new- if not respectable - life into your clothes.
All abilities welcome. Materials provided, but bring along your own clothes to mend.
a:dress is a Folkestone-based project of activism and informal education designed to raise awareness and to challenge the devastating impact of fast fashion on the environment. Its focus is on female consumers, as women are disproportionately affected by both fast fashion and climate crisis.
