Published on Footpaths Leicester The Green Festival of Making and Mending is 5 weeks away and last week I finally had my making moment. Zina and I have been working relentlessly in the organisation of the festival and its pre-festival events to enthuse people to make and mend in an ingeneous, creative and more environmentally friendly way. The experience has taught me many skills, from communication to project management. I kept unfortunately my spirit away from engaging with the craft of making and mending.
