Description
We start with a warm welcome and an introduction to the philosophy of visible mending. You will discover the history, cultural roots, and the connection with Kintsugi, the Japanese art of not hiding but highlighting breaks. You will learn how Japanese craftsmen have elevated mending to an art form, and why repairing is a style statement today. Mending is the new beautiful.
Each participant receives a Kintsewing repair set and a tote bag. You choose from a rich selection of colorful patches and fabrics, an invitation to experiment and tell your own story.
Our expert demonstrates various techniques of visible mending and embroidery. You practice them step by step and transform your tote bag into a unique, wearable artwork.
Bring a garment that needs mending, or focus on building your skills with the provided tote bag. For the best learning experience, we recommend starting with the tote bag and then applying your techniques to your own clothing.
