About This Event

Boro Boro Patching is set for 31 October 2026 at the AK Bell Library in Perth. This workshop will focus on the Japanese technique of patching and mending textiles known as Boro. Ticket pricing is available on the website.

Boro (or boromono) means ‘rags’ in Japanese and refers to the clothing and textiles produced in rural northern Japan by repeatedly patching and mending cloth to extend its lifespan. It is closely tied to the philosophy of mottainai – a respect and regret for anything that has to be wasted- and was borne of economic and environmental hardship. If you want to learn more about zero-waste sewing and how to visibly mend your clothes, then sign up for this workshop. Suitable for ages 16+. Spaces are limited for this free workshop. Book a spot by emailing [email protected] . Please note To use the Lend & Mend Hubs in our libraries, you must be a Culture Perth & Kinross library member. You can join online here .
