As part of Fashion Revolution Week 2024 join us for this Mend in Public workshop. Held by Glasgow School of Art Future Skills in partnership with Generation of Waste. Mend in Public Day stands as a beacon of change in a world inundated with fashion waste. By participating you’ll be part of a global creative action resisting the cycle of excess through repair and reuse.  Together, we will explore our personal and collective memories of textile use and wear, learning practical mending skills to increase the longevity of our wardrobes.

It is suitable for anyone interested in re-thinking our approach to our material world and aims to pursue a more circular way of thinking about textiles. All materials will be provided and no prior experience of textile hand skills is required. Participants should bring along a personal item that they would like to work with to mend during the workshop.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Wasps Inverness Creative Academy, an inspiring setting that will provide the perfect environment for this practical, making based workshop. 

Fully funded places are available for Scottish residents.  Please use the code JTYGUT if you are resident in Scotland.  Please note, you will be asked to confirm your Postcode upon registration.
