This is a fun activity in Camberwell, London
Learn the beautiful and practical art of sashiko mending in this relaxed, hands-on workshop in London led by textile artist Selina Latour. This traditional Japanese technique transforms repair into decoration, allowing you to strengthen and extend the life of well-loved clothes while creating something visually striking and completely unique.
This workshop is welcoming and accessible, even if you’re new to visible mending or hand stitching. Selina is a patient, supportive teacher who will guide you at your own pace, offering advice tailored to your garment and skill level.
**What to expect:**
- An introduction to sashiko and its traditional and contemporary uses.
- Guidance on repairing woven garments such as cotton shirts or jeans.
- Learn mindful, repeat stitch techniques.
- Combine practical repair with creative, aesthetic choices.
- One-to-one support throughout the session.
- Time to work on a garment you’ve brought along.
You’ll leave with a newly mended item, a deeper appreciation for slow, sustainable repair, and the confidence to continue sashiko mending at home. This is a thoughtful, calming workshop that helps you reconnect with your clothes and learn new skills.
