About The Instructor(s)
Alex (she/her) is a passionate stitcher with a deep love for embroidery, which she has been practicing since 2015. She began her creative journey by crafting intricate pet portraits, but eventually her passion for such labour-intensive stitchwork fell to the wayside. In the past few years she has developed a passion for sustainability; this newfound passion for the environment naturally led her to the art of mending. Alex is excited by the unique blend of self-expression and sustainability that visible mending offers, and she’s eager to inspire you to not only extend the life of your clothes but to transform them into something even more meaningful and cherished!
Refund Policy: Tickets are transferable, but unfortunately not refundable at The Bad Academy. We're a crazy small organization and operate on razor-thin margins, and as much as we'd like to account for life getting in the way, we have been burned too many times by no-shows, and last-minute refund requests etc. If you'd like to transfer your ticket to a friend, please email us at hello@thebadacademy.com with the name and email of the person taking your place, and we'll make sure to make the appropriate changes!
