Make Mend II: Tools of the Trade

USC Visions and Voices

Building on techniques taught in the first workshop, learn how to create tools including table looms, drop spindles, and knitting needles.

Watt Hall

Practicing mending, fabrication, and sustainability while embracing the Wabi Sabi concept of celebrating flaws and finding beauty in imperfection, participants in the second Make Mend II workshop will learn how to create tools including table looms, drop spindles, and knitting needles that will be used on unraveled, shredded, and transformed old clothing and cloth from the first workshop. The spinning circle from the first workshop will continue, and special guests will demonstrate and teach introductory weaving, knitting, and spinning skills. New participants are welcome, too! Make Mend II carries on the popular series of workshops in which faculty, staff, and students from the USC Roski School of Art and Design lead sessions on unraveling, spinning, weaving, stitching, needlework, and other techniques to renew, reuse, and repurpose textiles. No experience is necessary, and light refreshments will be served. <a href="https://visionsandvoices.usc.edu/eventdetails/?event_id=43411552979703&amp;s_type=&amp;s_genre=" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Click to read more. </a>
