SUMMARY:Make It Last: A Mending Workshop with Ella Springer (ages 6–12)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]The practice of mending has existed for as long as we’ve been creating and wearing clothing. As fast fashion and even faster consumption become the norm\, mending skills are slowly being forgotten between generations. In this workshop\, participants will learn about what we wear\, how we consume\, and basic mending skills to make repairs to our clothing. Materials will be provided for practice\, and you are also welcome to bring in your clothing items. \nAbout Ella Springer: Ella Springer is an artist and designer originally from Michigan and currently based in Paris while completing her thesis at Parsons Paris. Through her work\, she is on a mission to revive the skills and communities surrounding clothing repair and sustainable hand making practices.

With a needle and thread as a tool for change\, Ella leads children to the joy of mending through workshops and creative activities. You can find out more about Ella here. \nChildren between the ages 6–12 may participate in Library programs on their own\, while their chaperone remains inside the Library.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1704818439803{border-left-width: 8px !important;padding-left: 8px !important;border-left-color: #9e0143 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;}”]Important information: This event is for Library members\, and advance registration is required.
