Join Sew Valley at the Cincinnati Art Museum for a beginner friendly class on the basics of visible and invisible mending, inspired by the exhibition Elizabeth Hawes: Radical American Fashion. Mending is a great way to increase the lifespan of your favorite clothes, or revamp ones you don’t wear as often! Participants will learn a variety of techniques that can be applied to both wovens (jeans, button downs, etc.) and knits (sweaters and t-shirts). You will take home a swatch book of techniques that you will complete in the class.

No art experience necessary. While this program is designed for adults, teens 13+ accompanied by an adult are welcome.
