About

The Exploding Wardrobe - A talk and hands-on drop-in workshop with textile artist Gillian Steel and Deborah White.

Talk
Our wardrobes offer an explosion of stories about our clothing, where it came from? who made it and how? It also offers huge potential to reconnect to our natural inclinations to make, mend and reinvent not just our clothing by our world and how we live in it.

A Drop-in Hands-on Workshop
Making and mending things is a critical part of being human, it also creates space for us to relax or to be social and build a sense of ourselves as beings who can fix things.

Pop-in to join in a session of printing unique patches to mend your clothes with and to learn some decorative Japanese Sashiko stitch mending techniques.
