Munasafn Reykjavík invites you to a creative mending workshop led by Ýr Jóhannsdóttir. Bring your own mittens, beanie, sweater, socks or piece of clothing in need of mending. If you have a specific mending in mind bring the yarns or things in the colour needed. We will provide yarn, wool, thread, buttons, needles and some tools for mending.
Textile designer and artist Ýr Jóhannsdóttir or Ýrúrarí offers free workshops in creative mending on clothing at the Tool Library.
The workshop offers tools, materials and room for embroidery, knitting, needle felting, machine sewing and educational material about textile mending. Participants are encouraged to bring clothes they want to fix, change or mend. If participants already have an idea of a mending they want to do they should bring specific yarns, fabric or other materials they want to use.
Participants do not need any former knowledge of textile techniques or experience in mending. If children want to participate they must be accompanied by an adult to help them.
