Skillshare: Mending & Making – Sustainable Fashion
Date & Time: Thursday 5th & Thursday 12th June , 6-8pm
Location: Theatre Space, ROAR Artspace, Westgate Chambers, Westgate, Rotherham, S60 1AN
Fast fashion is one of the planet’s biggest polluters—40% of new clothing goes straight to landfill, and denim production alone has devastated ecosystems like the Aral Sea. Cheap clothes often come at a high human and environmental cost.
Join us for a practical, hands-on workshop focused on giving your clothes a second life. With Sandras insight into clothes production and support from fellow makers, we’ll cover things like:
Fixing broken zips
Creative patching techniques
Letting out waistbands
General mending skills
Bring items you love but can’t wear—if we can’t fix them on the spot, we’ll try and show you how.
Bring your own sewing machines if possible.
Let’s learn how to repair, rewear, and rethink the way we value clothing.
