CARE & REPAIR
The most sustainable garments are the ones already hanging in our wardrobes. The AMK atelier will open up to host repair workshops, or I can come and visit your location. I will share my passion for repairs and construction, and guide you in textile crafts inspired by the Japanese culture.
