Workshop

In this beginner-friendly hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to patch holes in fabric by hand using visible mending techniques that celebrate, rather than conceal, repair.

We invite you to create your own paper using recyclable materials at the Small Arms Inspection Building on August 2nd. Participants will learn how to make a basic sheet, one with colour specs, and one with seeds that can be planted! There will also be an opportunity to arrange dried flowers on the finished paper. Want to create a unique piece of art for your wall or a card for a loved one? This is a great way to add a handmade touch. 

All materials included in the cost of the workshop.
