WWF cour­se - mend ins­tead of thro­wing away - we­ar clo­thes with pri­de again

My favorite jeans have a hole! And now? – Using various techniques, clothes can be worn and textile consumption can be reduced. You will find out how at the workshop. Repairing means conserving resources, valuing them instead of throwing them away, saving favorite pieces, preserving valuables, becoming creative, getting involved in stories. With Visible Mending, holes and worn areas are visibly repaired by hand, colorfully filled, ornately decorated and then worn again with pride. In this course we take a critical look at our use of textiles, learn about materials and tools and get to know different techniques and stitches. Take a piece that needs to be repaired with you and let yourself be fascinated by the creative, pleasurable and at the same time meditative activity.
