Thursday 24 July: 6:30 - 8:30pm 

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
