6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Restore your worn fabrics, connect with your community, and contribute to a sustainable future. Stop by our mending circle!
Do I need experience?
No experience necessary, if you have zero experience and zero idea what to bring other than your holey garment, please show up and we can point you in the right direction.
What will be at the circle?
Tea will be provided. You'll also be able to pilfer supporting supplies from the communal mending kit.
What should I bring?
Bring things to mend, your half finished knits and any hand projects, fiber or otherwise, you want to spend time with. Basic mending tools include needles, thread, and small scissors.
If you want to mend jeans, please bring some extra denim to patch, and some light blue cotton (unless you want to visibly mend, then whatever colour you wish!)
If you want to learn to darn, bring jar lids, rubber bands, wool needles, and wool to match.
This event is for adults 18+, or youth 14+ with accompanying adult.
Meet Marian
Marian Lyndgaard has been mending holes since skinned knees in purple tights. She is now bringing these memories and practices to facilitate Mending Circle at Avon Hills Folk School. Along with Aunt Eleanor’s sewing can and Uncle Tom’s darning egg, anything is possible! She has 3 beautiful boys and lives with her husband Kyhl in the woods.
