Mending is a group workshop offered by artist Michelle Hartney for trans adults and
children and their parents and caregivers. People are invited to bring clothing and
Hartney will help each participant alter the clothing to reflect their preferred gender
expression. Beginning as an act of love for her youngest child who is transgender, Hartney started
altering their baby clothes. The project soon became a collaboration with the artist’s child
sharing how they would like their baby clothes to look. Working on the project together
was healing and gave the artist an opportunity to honor her child and let them know they
are seen and loved for being authentic to themselves. 

All supplies for this workshop will be provided; you only need to bring the garments you
wish to alter. No prior art/sewing experience is required; there are several options to alter
clothing that do not involve sewing. This workshop will provide a safe space for all.

Registration is required as space is limited.
