Something to hold, carry and keep close. In this gentle, hands-on workshop, we’ll create soft cloth pouches with upcycled fabric to become containers for personal treasures or hand painted stones with thoughtful words. We will be hand stitching, but no sewing experience is needed—just a willingness to move slowly and listen inwardly.
All materials provided!
Contribution: $15-25 sliding scale. Minimum of 4 registrations. Tickets cannot be reimbursed unless the event gets canceled by the host.
Accessibility: We will be seated in chairs for the workshop. Please note that there are a few stairs to enter into the building.
We look forward to seeing you!
