Hi, I’m Nat Mendham.
a Tasmanian creative focused on mending things that matter.
My work lives at the intersection of art, resourcefulness, and resistance.
For me, it’s well-loved clothes, our connections with nature and community, and our sense of hope for the future that feel most worth repairing.
You can find me picking up a pen, needle and thread and using my voice to help fix things, one slow stitch, intentional word, community project at a time.
Ways to connect, learn and work with me
Learn with me:
Visible Mending
Beginners and seasoned sewists gather round. Create a custom mending workshop with me in nipaluna/Hobart. You can also learn online (coming soon) or download and print a handy pocket guide to get you started.
Meaningful ways to create
community connection
Creating meaningful community is deeply important to me. Find my free community-building guides here:
Deep dives and updates
substack newsletter
Substack is where you can find me deep-diving into topics I’ve been paying attention to lately. I’ve just finished a series on things I’m taking into 2025, like community building, sharing skills, and volunteering.
Join us at the
Radical Postcard Club
NOTE: This 12-month project has now wrapped up.
On Patreon, I run a club where I create a new radical postcard each month that is delightful and disarming and that disrupt outdated systems and outgrow the status quo.

“Do stuff. Be clenched, curious. Not waiting for inspiration’s shove or society’s kiss on your forehead. Pay attention. It’s all about paying attention. Attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. Stay eager.”
