Join us for this free community workshop led by Carol Mason in the Arts Junction Boardroom from 2:00 - 3:00 pm on Sunday 22nd January. Space is limited to 10 people, so register today! (details below)

Inspired by the Japanese art of sashiko, visible mending is a form of embroidery where fabric is patched and embellished. Instead of seeing clothes as disposable items, it's about working with what you have, embracing imperfection, turning a garment's flaws into something quirky and personal to you and rejecting the idea that newer is always better.

This workshop is part of a series of free community workshops and talks being offered alongside the museum's exhibition "How to Save the Planet: What we can learn from our grandparents" from November - February 2023.

All workshops and talks are free.

To register and save your spot, please contact Joyce prior to the event by email at admin@westernbaymuseum.nz or by phone at 021 113 4451.

We'd like to extend a big thank you to our sponsor, the Western Bay of Plenty District Council.
