Visible Mending with Ali Clifford

At Renée Materials, we’re passionate about reuse - and that means we love REPAIR too!

Join us for a special Visible Mending Workshop in collaboration with our friend and speed loom expert Ali Clifford! This session will introduce you to repairing small holes and tears, in your favourite garment (or sock) using the incredibusy salvaged speed loom, a beautiful and mindful mending practice.

During this calming and inspiring workshop, you’ll explore the history of darning and learn the essential techniques for using the small darning loom. You’ll practise repairing your knitwear with small weaving patterns on knit or fabric swatches provided by Renée Materials or bring something of your own to repair.

What’s included:

I. Tools, the incredibusy salvaged speed loom kit, scissors, and practice samples.

II. A variety of darning yarns.

III. Refreshments throughout the session.

Feel free to bring along a well-worn item (knits, socks, cotton, or linen) you'd like to repair and personalise.

No prior darning or sewing experience required, just bring your creativity (and a holey sock).

As a friend of Renee Materials, the incredibusy salvaged speed loom will be available to purchase on the night at 20% off the usual retail price.
