Mending and more at Marsh Community Centre, Wednesday 13 May 4 - 6 pm.
Bring along something you'd like to work on.

All welcome and Marsh Mending is about more than fixing clothes.
It is about slowing down, sharing knowledge, and making things last a little longer.
Join us to mend, create, and connect in a supportive, relaxed event.

We had such a good visit and session with Tenderfoot Theatre on Saturday at 'Pockets of Possibilities'! Thank you!
We loved the poem performed by Georgie and written by Kate - it was perfect for our content and ambitions and we'd love to read it again.

And of course we were fascinated by the alchemy of Kate's workshop creating inks from veg, drawing costumes and seeing the props you have made from kombucha. Amazing.

Thanks also for staying the whole day and engaging with so many people, we appreciate your immersion what was going on..
Let's keep in touch and collaborate again - cheers from us all.

Our Mooch session after the Runway in the last hour and a half of 'Pockets of Possibilities'.
It was just what we hoped, a beautiful space for hands-on exploration and conversation about what we'd seen and felt in the Runway - and the whole 3 days.
Thanks for all the energy!

Just 4 of the over 35 outfits on our Alternative Runway yesterday at our 'Pockets of Possibilities' weekender.
It was such a brilliant & inspiring mix of garments created from scratch by makers plus outfits curated and modified and 'thrifted' from many sources or 'gifted' with love and meaning.

Beginner stitchers and expert makers side by side, everyone with a story: thank you all.
We'll share photos of everyone soon.
The audience was so warm and supportive - thanks to you, you were essential! Kudos to all the volunteers who made the Runway happen, to Vaz for managing the music and to for super pictures.

Next we'll share photos of the day's finale hour of Mooching - a space to look at or feel the outfits and talk to the proud wearers and each other. What a great community to be part of!
