 Scene from a mending session captured by Heidi Marie Photography Coming up at at the Los Angeles Makery!
December: A Fix-It Clinic December 21, 2-3:30 PM. Learn quick hand sewing fixes! Bring your clothes and soft goods (like stuffed animals and throws) that need repairs. Masks required day for Opulent Mobility 2024 December 22, 1-4 PM for our immune compromised guests! Artist talk for Opulent Mobility 2024 December 29th 1-2:45, gallery viewing after. Hybrid meeting in person and on Zoom with ASL interpretation; register at the link for the Zoom. As a side note- did you know about the ugly laws that kept disabled folks in America out of sight in public up through the 1970s? Yeah, that existed. Get a rundown here. This is one of the many reasons why I am so passionate about re-imagining disability as opulent and powerful. January: Embroidery Basics January 5, 2-3:30 PM. Learn the basics and get out that rage by stabbing fabrics multiple times with sharp objects! Fun AND cathartic. Visible Mending January 19, 2-3:30 PM. Visible mending makes repair fun, meditative, and beautiful. Bring your clothes and soft goods that need a little love. Let's mend the world, not trash it. XO Laura
