Visible Mending Workshop: Upcycling Clothes

Join us on a sustainable fashion journey as we transform distressed garments into revitalised fashion expressions.

Crafting enthusiasts, Jacqui Chan and Franka Haeussner, will guide your hands and hearts in breathing new life into worn-out woollens and denims. This exciting, three-hour community-centred workshop will immerse you in the world of visible mending, a popular trend where repair work becomes the highlight, proudly displayed.

Riverside Education believes in reducing waste and promoting a more sustainable relationship with our wardrobes. Thus, Jacqui and Franka will also show a remarkable short film highlighting the intimate connection people have with their cherished clothes.

For a communal atmosphere, we'll warmly provide tea and biscuits. Bring any extra threads and needles you may have lying around, though we will also provide materials to work with.

Please bring your own mugs—another nod towards sustainability.
Let's mend our world, one stitch at a time
