Learn to patch and repair holes using honeycomb darning.

This strong and relatively quick visible mending technique is perfect for darning socks and reinforcing worn areas of clothing and creates an attractive circular pattern. Lorna will guide you in choosing the right tools and materials for each item of clothing and show you step by step how to make a beautiful lasting repair.

Lorna Johnston is a visible mending teacher and artist specialising in accessible creative workshops that support mental health. Using traditional mending techniques and contemporary embroidery to visibly repair and extend the lives of clothing and textiles, Lorna creates spaces where sustainability, creativity, and people flourish together.

All sessions are free.
