Embroidery and Mending Workshops

  • Free
  • Workshop

Get creative and learn a skill-for-life, in these hands-on workshops led by Manjari Singh, celebrating traditional Indian textile arts and mindful mending.

Bring your own item of clothing to repair or embroider, or you can add your unique touch to the community ‘adda’ embroidery frame. The adda frame is a traditional tool used by Indian artisans to stitch large textiles together.

Commonly used for sarees and shared fabric work, the adda frame invites collaborative making, conversation and connection. Sit alongside friends or meet someone new, share a cuppa, and experience the simple joy of stitching together.

Enjoy a free chai or herbal tea at these workshops, which are suitable for all skill levels.

There may be room for drop-ins to attend these workshops, but registration is recommended.
