Do you see what I see? It's visible mending and it's designed to be seen! Why hide your handwork if you can make those repairs stand out with colourful stitches in interesting patterns? 'Introduction to Boromono and Visible Mending' is one of sixteen workshops being offered this spring at the 2nd annual Cowichan Hand to Hand Fibre Arts weekend. As H2H is being organized by the Tzouhalem Spinners & Weavers Guild, it's no surprise to see both spinning and weaving classes on tap. But there's more! Take a closer look at the list of workshops online at cowichanh2hfibrearts.ca and you'll see that other fibre arts, such as knitting, embroidery, språng, Japanese woodblock printing, and basketry, are also included. Most of the sessions are 3 hours in length -- morning, afternoon or evening; two workshops are a full day -- 6 hours plus a lunch break.

All of the instructors are local; they either live in the Cowichan Valley or are based on Vancouver Island.

Registration is now open (prices for single workshops range from $45 to $110). For more information, please go online to https://cowichanh2hfibrearts.ca/ or contact Alison Irwin at [email protected] or (250) 746-6330.
