Give your socks a second chance by learning to mend them! Students will learn the basics of darning commercially made socks (no handknit socks for this workshop) using needle, embroidery floss, and a darning mushroom/egg. Everyone should bring at least 1 sock that needs repair. If you use glasses for close work, please bring them. During the workshop you will start to get a feel for the process, finishing the mend on your own at home. If you already own mending supplies, please bring them. For others a basic kit will be available for purchase at the beginning of class. No experience necessary. Open to ages 10 and up. All children under age 18 must be accompanied by a registered and participating adult guardian.
