Visible Mending:

Learn to prolong your wardrobe or make changes to vintage clothing for wearable art!  This class is all about mending clothes to give the mending personality, character, and appeal.  Visible mending has been growing in popularity and is reshaping how we view our own wardrobes to make what we already have into slow fashion.

During this class, students will make a sample to learn various techniques to hand stitch on clothes.  Students are encouraged to bring an article of clothing that needs repair or some artistic improvement.  Even if it’s a recent thrift find, bring it in!

Please note, this class is for Women Only.

We offer scholarships for those who cannot afford the registration fee. Email the Operation ART Program Manager at isabella@thejoelfund.org to receive the scholarship promo code with your name and email address.
