Repair to Reimagine is a creative workshop inviting you to rediscover the hidden stories stitched into your wardrobe.
The RWA is delighted to collaborate with Weaving Change for this imaginative and thought provoking workshop. No prior experience necessary.
Repair to Reimagine is a creative workshop inviting participants to rediscover the hidden stories stitched into their wardrobes. Our clothes are more than fabric; they are vessels of memory, identity and experience.
What to expect?
The session will begin in the beautiful historic RWA galleries, with a guided reflection on the significance of these personal and cultural narratives, before moving into a practical workshop where participants will learn simple mending techniques to repair a garment they have brought along, reimagining the items value through repair. No previous sewing experience is needed, and all materials for mending will be provided.
RWA bar available.
