The workshop in detail

  • 2h
  • 15 years min.
  • 1 to 4 participants
  • Up to 4 people for a privatization
  • Join Eugénie and her team in the world of visible mending ! 

    In this workshop you'll learn how to give your garments a new lease of life by artistically concealing holes and rips. 

    Starting with an introduction to the basic techniques, you'll work on samples to experiment with chessboard darning. 

    Once you've chosen the thread colours you like, you'll stitch your fabric in a precise motion, alternating thread passes over and under.

    You'll also benefit from the advice of the artisans throughout the workshop.

    Finally, you'll leave with your own creation, ready to use this technique on your favourite pieces!
