Visible Mending Workshop

Repair your clothing instead of throwing it out! Learn how to refresh your clothing at our Visible Mending Workshop, where you'll learn basics of decorative mending techniques. The class will be taught by Darci Lenker, local fiber artist. All supplies for the class will be provided.
