The mending club runs every first Monday of the month. We invite you to bring something to mend, and we share the tools and the know-how on how to get started. It's an opportunity to make new friends, enjoy friendly chat and drink, whilst learning new skills in a relaxing environment. The focus is on the meditative, life-enhancing joy of craft and being in the moment, whilst having fun sharing skills and just catching-up on life and supporting each other. Walthamstow-based textile artist Mika Sembongi set up Monday Mending Club as a reaction to the climate crisis with an emphasis on positive action. Since starting the club in February 2022, we have introduced complete beginners to both traditional invisible mending and the Japanese craft of Sashiko mending, where a repair is elaborated upon with creative stitching to transform the fault into a new, individual design to be worn with pride. We mend clothes not because we can't afford new clothes, but because we can't afford to throw them away. No need to book a spot - just turn up on the night.

Real-life stories of war, resistance, and activism influence countless stories in arts and entertainment, and the musical theatre form is no different. This presentation will cover the history of some of the world's most famous musicals all through the lens of the social, cultural, and historical contexts that fostered the characters and stories that we see on stage to this day. As the late great musical theatre composer Stephen Sondheim (known for shows like Into the Woods, Company, and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street) said, "Art, in itself, is an attempt to bring order out of chaos.” Bio Ciarlene Coleman (she/they) is a Filipino American actor, musician, and performer originally from Southern California, now based in London.

Come and learn the traditional Japanese mending embroidery method of Sashiko and Boro stitching- to fix and revive your damaged or old clothing... Sashiko means "little stabs" in Japanese or "little pierce" and is a form of decorative reinforcement stitching that started out of practical need during the Edo era (1615-1868) in Japan. Traditionally used to reinforce points of wear or to repair worn places or tears with patches, making the piece ultimately stronger and warmer. Worn out clothes were pieced together to make new garments by using simple running stitches. These clothes increased their strength with this durable embroidery. Boro is very close to Sashiko, both use white thread on indigo and both are mending techniques but boro meaning “rags” or “tattered cloth,” refers to textiles that have been patched many times, so giving a far less structured effect. This sturdy method makes both Boro and Sashiko perfect for mending denim.
