Visible Mending Workshop with Jessica Wohl

Join February Resident Jessica Wohl and learn patching and stitching techniques to mend tattered garments with visible needlework. Bring your own worn garment, and we will provide assistance and materials. Woven fabrics like cotton, denim, or flannel – instead of knits – will work best for this session.
