Learn  a few techniques on how to repair/upcycle clothing items to extend their wear!

The mindful mending workshop explores 3 different techniques to easily mend items to extend their life considerably. As a global population, every garment we make requires a huge number of resources to create, so mending the items we already have respects those resources and saves using new resources to produce a new item. Furthermore, if you love individuality and unique items, mending is a great opportunity to customise your garments and express yourself!

This workshop hopes to cultivate a relaxed atmosphere in which to learn how to mend. This a walk-in workshop that will be available to join anytime during the 5-hour duration, but pre-registration is encouraged for us to stagger attendees and plan around numbers. Come and leave as you please, you can choose to learn a technique or three! Materials and equipment will be provided, but feel free to bring items that require hemming, or have holes that you would like to mend!

$15 (Adult), $8 (Child)

Australian-born creative Sharon Soh grew up loving all things art-related, particularly being drawn to the glamour of fashion. However, being a dutiful Asian child like many of us are, she completed a Bachelor of Commerce at The University of Melbourne and a short stint in a global advertising firm. 

The love of fashion never left her mind though, so she returned to study to follow her passion - Fashion Design. She worked for a large publicly listed fashion group for almost 9 years as a fashion designer and marketing manager at various times throughout her tenure. She saw first-hand fashion getting faster, bigger, hungrier and demanding more from all its resources, which increasingly did not align with her deep-seated feelings about sustainability and mindful consumption.  

She now has a few passion projects in fashion, namely micro labels eS.Sential and I am Will James, which do not keep up with the seasons, and only produce ondemand to keep waste at the very minimum. Last but very far from the least, Sharon works alongside Cloop in various capacities in her free time, which has involved sorting clothing, creating social media assets, providing back-end technical support for their online presence, and the reason why we are all here, mending damaged garments so that they can be worn once again!
