Visible Mending Circle

 

Come mend and connect in community.

Bring your clothing or textile items and give them new life through visible mending—where repairs are seen and celebrated. Learn alongside Alison Davis-Holland and a friendly team of “Mend-tors” from Art on the Mend, and enjoy meeting new people along the way.

We provide all mending supplies. Just bring your clean clothing or textile items with holes, stains, or worn spots; or practice on our reclaimed textiles. Although we have topics we are learning on specific dates, feel free to bring any of your mending projects just to mend in community.

All of our visible mending is handwork - not with sewing machines.

No experience needed. Ages 14+ recommended because we will be handling sharp needles.

REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED. By registering, you will receive event updates. First-come, first-served seating.

For more information, contact Cherrydale Library at 703-228-6330 or Lib-Cherrydale@arlingtonva.us. Please note that Cherrydale's Loft and public restrooms are only accessible by stairs.
