Earlier this month we held the UK’s first Mending Symposium and for all of you who couldn’t make it, for whatever reason, we want to share the Mending Love through the MendRS Blog Tour. The response to the call for participation in the symposium was overwhelming, and they came from such a wide variety of angles, that it is clear that Mending in all its aspects strikes a chord with many people.

This is reflected in The MendRS Blog Tour, which has a whopping fourteen stops along the way! During the tour you will hear of people’s personal experiences, reflections on mending activities, thoughts on overcoming barriers to mending, mending inspiration, and more. You can find the tour dates at the end of this post.

If you can’t wait until 27 July, when Futuremenders will be the first stop along the way, then you can enjoy a tour taster, consisting of two courses:

Flowering Elbow, who talk about how Making vs Mending, and Dynamic Repair, and how they learnt how to darn!
Clare Thomas, who talks about mending object, mending roadsides, mending lives.

Here is the full list of the MendRS Blog Tour, enjoy the ride!
