Lu Flux is a sustainable clothing designer based in the Kent countryside, specialising in traditional smocks. Each Lu Flux garment is hand-cut from vintage, organic or naturally dyed cloth and embellished with traditional techniques. Inspired by age-old British craft practises, Lu uses patchwork, quilting, smocking and hand embroidery to produce unique and wearable garments. Lu also runs a local mending club once a month, teaching darning and patching techniques to help people increase the lifetime of garments and reduce waste.
Lu will be running a drop-in workshop throughout the weekend. Participants are invited to bring their own well-loved clothes for tips on how to visibly mend and care for them to give them a new lease of life. Lu will be on hand with materials and equipment to teach darning and patching for all types of materials, restoring well-loved items and extending the life of your garment for years to come.
