Summer Make Do & Mend Together
Wed 25th June 2025 6:30pm
Make, mend and learn together at our upcoming workshop led by Yarndale, where you’ll learn the art of visible mending and make your own colourful patch to repair or customise your well-loved clothes!
Inspired by our exhibition Designed for War and the Second World War’s Make Do & Mend campaign, this hands-on session will show you how to repurpose clothing using a simple weaving technique. You will also be shown how to attach your new patch using a hand sewing technique, so feel free to bring along your item of clothing you are wanting to mend or customise!
No experience is needed and all materials will be supplied.
Duration:
6.30pm – 8.00pm

Designed for War: The graphic power of Second World War posters
Saturday 3 May – Wednesday 23 July 2025
Marking the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, this exhibition explores the power of design in shaping public perception and fueling the war effort. Highlighting a wide selection of posters donated to Craven Museum by W.W Holgate which were collected during the war itself alongside objects from the museum’s collection, it connects national narratives to the local histories of Craven and beyond.
