A highlight of this year for us has been taking part in RMIT PlaceLab's Wear and Care project. We ran a series of six community repair workshops earlier this year which were instrumental in understanding the community repair movement and its potential.

An exploration into methods of fashion “rewilding” in Brunswick. Gathering locals, retailers, and researchers to learn about and encourage practices that mend, repair and share clothing to build a local response towards a new fashion system.

We are pleased to collaborate on this workshop on Thursday:

Exploring the textile palette of designer Tom Trandt Minh Đạo in collaboration with the Repair Café at First Site Gallery RMIT.

This collaborative workshop with visiting Vietnamese designer Tom Trandt Minh Đạo from Moi Dien and the Repair Café at RMIT will explore the nexus of textile embellishment and expressive mending methods. Starting with textile remnants and fabric manipulation techniques from Tom Trandt Minh Đạo you will develop their application to mend your torn, unworn or unfavourably decorated clothing and accessories.
