Saturday 26 April 12:00-17:00, alongside 'Mend in Public Day', it is also 'Kings Day' in the Netherlands. Our national colour is orange, so we will put orange thread on our sewing machines and provide orange darning and embroidery thread. So the visible mending on your clothes or accessoires will be in orange.

More Information: Our community is a place to meet to swap, borrow, repair, restyle, upcycle clothes, share information on textiles and exchange ideas at the intersection of art and design. We strive to promote cooperation and to experiment. We believe this will lead to new ideas and cross-overs between Art & Design.
