About the event
This practical workshop focuses on simple shoe repairs, patching, and mending to help extend the life of your footwear and keep it out of the landfill. Learn what to look for when buying quality shoes, what can realistically be repaired, and pick up basic repair skills you can use at home.
Basic repairs and advice will be available during the workshop. Please note this is not a cobbler service full resoles and major heel repairs won't be offered, as they require specialised equipment.
A great workshop for anyone wanting to save money, reduce waste, and care for the things they already own.
