Workshop on Visible Mending: The Gift of Repair

As part of Earth Month at Hopewell Valley Central High School, the Youth Environmental Society at HVCHS is hosting Philadelphia community organizer and artist Shari Hersh on Saturday, April 26 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. She will be presenting a workshop on Visible Mending: The Gift of Repair. Visible mending, the art of repair and maintenance, is an investment in the ethos of sharing, communing and mutuality.

The event is $10 (which gets you a mini repair kit) and is open to the public. 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.)

Location: Hopewell Valley High School Community Room
