Mending Station with Warren Steven Scott
March 15, 2026
1–4pm
FREE
Do you have garments to mend and off-cuts to use? Join us at the Museum this Sunday, March 15th, for a free Mending Station workshop facilitated by designer Warren Steven Scott!
Warren Steven Scott (Nlaka’pamux Nation) is a Toronto based designer and craftsperson whose practice spans wearable fashion and accessories. Informed by Warren’s design practice and inspired by garments from his label, participants are invited to learn how to collage textile scraps into corsages as a means of mending. As a mending method, the corsages can be fastened to a garment to cover a small hole or stain, extending the life of both the garment and textile scraps.
Participants should already be comfortable operating a sewing machine, as this workshop does not include beginner machine instruction. All materials are provided. Participants are welcome to bring small scraps from their collection to use in this workshop.
The Mending Station, generously funded by TD Friends of the Environment, is an Indigenous-led, public-facing repair and learning hub that centres garment mending as both a creative and sustainable practice. Each session will welcome up to 15 participants and is led by an invited textile artist or designer who brings their own practice, knowledge, and approach to repair into the space. What was originally conceived by Raven Spiratos as an extension of Eye of the Earth, a solo exhibition by Samuel Nnorom, has now become an extension of the Museum’s upcoming exhibition: Always in Fashion. This exhibition, curated by Amber-Dawn Bear Robe, is an engaging exploration of Indigenous design languages and their transformative impacts on the fashion landscape.
This program was generously funded by TD Friends of the Environment.
