Rue Saint Paul Mending Club

Thursday May 2nd 7-9 PM

@ 313 Court Street, Brooklyn, NY 112312

To start, mending is repairing, reinforcing, and restoring clothes or accessories to extend their lifespan and reduce waste. 

Its an act of love (& rebellion!), not only a helpful skill but an art form that can be done by hand or machine.

At Reclypt, we know it’s WAY more fun with others, join us to find out! All welcome!

It’s so easy to let that pile of clothes that needs to be fixed grow in the back of your closet and eventually get dumped at a thrift store. At Reclypt, we want to cultivate making a practice of caring for what's already in our closets. By uniting people to share insights and promote mutual accountability in caring for clothes, leaving larger or intricate repairs to tailors, a mending club brings these practices to life!

Our mending clubs are a pay-what you wish pricing model, starting at $10 per person. The money you pay for mending club contributes to us paying for the spaces we hold them in, paying an instructor to help teach and advise new folks, and for materials that are shared by the group during mending club.

The Reclypt mending club is meant to be a time to come together to meet new people and have communal space to work on our own handcraft projects.

What you’ll see at our Mending Club:

• Patching small holes

• Knitting

• Embroidery

• First Timers

• Experienced Menders

• Darning

• Visible & Invisible Mending
