Join the members of Kohna Zari Ko for a special pop up event.
Pop in over the course of the day with a small mending project and Kohna Zari Ko will sew while-you-wait! We will be able to help with loose hems, reattaching a button, or stitching up a small hole.
If you have something bigger to work on, we will be able to advise the best way to tackle the job.
Come and share a moment to also learn more about the group’s projects and how you can support our work.
This event is funded and supported by Arts Our East and the Howick Local Board.
