Shape and explore your design skills with FAB SCRAPS! Mending belongs to everyone; & sewing circles are a natural site of political organizing. While this doesn’t mean that most makers are explicitly producing resistance objects or engaged in direct action when they craft, it by nature contains the seeds of collective resistance. In addition to building skills this workshop aims to educate and engage the growing mending community about the importance of mending for system change. From analyzing history, exploring techniques, understanding its matriarchal lineage, and more, we aim to support our community members to make and trust your own choices for positive change.
