This week I talk to the inspiring and multi-talented Tom van Deijnen, or Tom of Holland, a textiles practitioner based in Brighton, UK. Tom has been running The Visible Mending Programme for many years, working mostly with wool to make and repair objects. He has shown that mending can be both enjoyable and beautiful, and his wonderful work continues to inspire many to lovingly repair their own garments.

In this episode I talk to Bridget Harvey, who is currently the V&A Fashioned from Nature Resident. We talk about mending in the museum, the responsibility of privilege, mending of every day objects with Hackney Fixers and the small changes we can all make in our own lives.
