Seed Lab, 111 W. 6th Ave, AnchorageIn-Person Event
Learn mending techniques to extend the life of quilts and other much-loved textiles. Discuss alternative uses and ways to store heirloom textiles, while making your repairs in in good company. Textile artists Amy Meissner and Jamie Hirano of Alpine Fit will lead this workshop. Bring a mending project to work on. Free.
Arrive as early as 5:30 with your own self-guided project to connect, ask questions and share repair skills with others. Guided demonstration begins at 6:30 p.m.
Seeding Repair Workshops are tutorials and discussions that change monthly and are intended to share ideas and new skills to prolong the life of a garment or textile to keep it out of the landfill. Our goal is to foster a repair culture, where mending is the first response, rather than discarding and replacing.
