Visible Mending Demonstration
Canby Public Library presents a demonstration of visible mending with fiber artist Vivien Wise. Visible mending is a creative approach to repairing clothes and other fabric items where the mended areas are intentionally kept visible, rather than trying to conceal them. It's a way to personalize garments, add character, and extend the life of clothing by celebrating the repairs as part of the design.
This event is supported by a Minigrant for Rural Libraries from Oregon Humanities.
1:00 p.m., Canby Public Library, Canby
