Mary Evans (she/her) has been sewing and making her own clothes since she was 14. As an artist with a deep appreciation for textiles and sustainability, she teaches workshops that encourage creative repair and personalization.Her approach to mending is rooted in her belief in transformation and resilience—key themes in her broader artistic practice. Mary sees mending as a form of creative alchemy, turning something worn or overlooked into something new, purposeful, and beautiful – embracing imperfections, valuing the stories objects carry, and reimagining their potential. This philosophy, which informs her sculptures, tarot decks, and other projects, underscores her commitment to creativity that honors both the past and future.
In this workshop, whether you’re fixing a favorite piece or completely reimagining an old garment, this session will give you the confidence to repair and personalize your clothes with care. Bring a garment in need of love, or, if you don’t have one in mind, explore sewing and experimentation with the fabric, clothing, and odds and ends provided. Let’s stitch some magic together!Stay connected with Mary through:
