Earth Week event at Hopewell Valley

[McGrath, Carolyn]

Hi Folks--Please see information below about one of our Earth Week events that is open to the community. We'd love to see you there! -Carolyn

**********************************************

Join Philadelphia artist and community organizer Shari Hersh for a workshop on clothes mending. This event will take place on Saturday, April 26, from 2 to 4 pm in Hopewell Valley Central High School Community Room. All are welcome!

Visible mending, the art of repair and maintenance, is an investment in the ethos of sharing, communing, and mutuality. A radical act as an alternative to reproducing the commodity-intensive society, repair allows us to create love, connection, and environmental care. In this workshop, participants will learn a beautiful mending technique for blue jeans (or any other cotton or linen garment). As an alternative participants can take home a demonstration piece that can be reworked on to an existing item or serve as a map for a needed repair. 

*Participants are encouraged to bring blue jeans or other cotton/linen clothing that needs mending. (Knits and clothing with a high percentage of spandex are not appropriate for this technique.)

*$10 per person (cash only): learn mending techniques & go home with a repair kit of your own!

*Register before 4/17 using this link.

*Questions may be directed to carolyn...@hvrsd.org
