As a part of programming for the exhibition Radical Craft: Arts Education at Hull-House 1889-1935, the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum is partnering with The WasteShed to present their event series, “Radical Mending.” This includes “Mending Basics,” a series of workshops designed to build and develop basic sewing skills and promote the importance of sustainable fashion. The workshops include materials for mending and are led by experts in garment and textile repair.
The goal of these workshops is to foster space for connection, to encourage sustainable everyday practices, and to educate one another in the history of the garment industry both past and present. This series takes place in the Residents’ Dining Hall at the Hull-House Museum. The cost of admission includes materials and a meal.
