Hand mending
Description
I’m an ex-academic textile worker interested in the practice and politics of mending.
About
I specialize in hand-repairs of knitwear and blankets but take commissions only occasionally (for barter/trade). I can be swayed by art collaborations asking decolonial questions—or by precious family items needing thoughtful repair.
