Join Emma Mathews for a workshop introducing the lost art of darning.

The session begins with an introduction to darning techniques from different cultures around the world, looking at various examples and mending tools.

Emma then leads practical exercises, teaching you how to mend your clothes and providing you with the skills to continue darning at home.

All equipment is provided. Participants are welcome to bring an item of woven or knitted clothing to work on during the session.
