Description
Join us for a monthly stitching circle, an informal gathering where all handcrafters are welcome. Whether you knit, crochet, embroider, or explore other textile arts, this is a relaxed space to share techniques and inspire one another. Bring your current project and come as you are—let’s craft together and celebrate the joy of handmade artistry! All skills and handcrafts invited.
Folks are invited to register for the Visible Mending Workshop (hyperlink to visible mending workshop page) on January 25th as a primer for learning basic mending techniques.
Intention of the Hive
When you join a Hive experience, you're invited into our intention to create a group experience that's inclusive, rooted in mindfulness, and dynamically relational. We aspire for each Hive experience to model these intentions, and even to refine them as we continue to learn how to gather in a way that's transformative! The embodiment of these intentions by Hive facilitators, Members, and class participants is what makes the Hive the unique and healing social container that many experience it to be.
