Slow Fashion Darning and Embroidery Workshop join us for a special York Fashion Week Event

Darning is an eco-friendly way to repair your clothes, helping them to avoid landfill and preserving a fabric you love.
It is a low and therapeutic embroidery process that strengthens your clothes while adding a decorative element.

You can either bring along something to mend or we can provide all the materials so that you can learn this hand embroidery technique.

Thanks to a grant from First Buses Fabrication Crafts on Coney Street have been running a number of free workshops showing participants how to upcycle, repair and enhance their clothing.

Saturday 29th April 11am to 1pm the workshop is free however prebooking is required to save a place

This is held at our York Coney Street shop, on the 1st floor in our upstairs classroom space with no disabled access

    Introduction to Gold Leaf

    Rob Oldfield is a gilder, typographer and educator, with nearly forty years experience working in museums and historic interiors. He recognizes the importance of crafts like gilding and he has a desire to pass on his knowledge so that it does not become yet another ‘forgotten art’ in an increasingly digital world. Gilding is a decorative technique for applying a very thin coating of metal to solid surfaces. The effect is beautiful and this is a rare opportunity to learn it yourself. Cost is £15 including all materials, equipment and tuition  along with tea, coffee, biscuits. Saturday 16th Dec 1.30 - 3.30 This class will be held in Fabrication York at 19 Coney St, York YO1 9QL Access: The Fabrication shop has level access to the street. The class area is on the first floor accessed via 2 flights of stairs. Toilets are on the first floor and accessed via three sets of fire doors.
