Lowie + Incredibusy Mending Loom Workshop | Weds 12th June
Join us for an evening repair workshop at the Lowie shop, Herne Hill London, Wednesday 12th June. In just two hours, you will learn to repair a hole in your clothes, using an incredibusy salvaged speed loom. This is a handcrafted tool designed to simplify the process of darning and repairing small snags in fabric.
We have two ticket options available for this workshop. £120 includes your ticket cost and your own loom to take home (saving £20 on the loom) or £60 for just the class.
You will come away with a knowledge of basic loom repair stitches, and the chance to give your favourite garments a longer, well loved life.
