Make Do & Mend Workshop and a free film screening of Fashion Reimagined as part of Streatham Free Film Festival.

Streatham Free Film Festival and The Woodfield Project presents a clothes mending workshop where you will learn how to mend your favourite item of clothing that needs some TLC.

Under the expert eye of Emily Jones, Senior Technician in the Revival Costume Workroom at The Royal Opera House, you will have the opportunity to bring along an item of clothing and learn how to to darn a hole or sew a patch to give it a new lease of live.

During this session Emily will show examples of costumes from the Opera that have been repaired and revamped to allow them to continue being used in world class opera and ballet productions/

Emily has worked in the costume and fashion industry for 15 years. She will share behind the scenes stories from dressing world famous opera singers to making couture clothes for royalty.

After the workshop we will screen Fashion Reimagined. - A fascinating documentary that follows Amy Powney, a daughter of environmental activists, during her trajectory from outsider to industry leader as she sets out to create a fashion collection that's ethical and sustainable at every level.

Refreshments on sale throughout.
