Community Mending Clinics
Mending as care…
Textile repair as a life skill.
Community Mending Clinics are for EVERYONE!
For organizations with mandates to improve life skills, reduce poverty, increase dignity and self-sufficiency, mending:
helps individuals build confidence, self reliance and personal dignity
stretches resources, reducing household costs
reduces waste
builds sense of care for personal items
supports community connections through shared learning environment.
inspires creativity and reflections on mending one’s life.
Held in varying locations, community mending clinics are facilitated, drop-in learning spaces where participants are supported to mend and repair their own textiles.
Clinics focus on teaching participants how to mend with hands-on guidance, shared tools, and accessible materials.
Participants leave with repaired items and the confidence to continue mending independently.
If you are interested in bringing a mending clinic to your organization or community, as a one-time or on-going service, connect with me here.
