Description
Join us for a visible hand-mending class where we embrace the art of repair and the beauty of imperfection. In this beginner-friendly space, we’ll gather as a community to learn the techniques of visible mending, transforming worn garments into unique expressions of creativity and sustainability. Through mindful stitching, we’ll celebrate the value of repair. Bring a beloved piece in need of love, and together, let’s breathe new life into it while cultivating a deeper appreciation for the items we cherish.
Folks are invited to register for Monthly Stitching Circles (hyperlink to monthly stitching circle page) to support an ongoing mending practice with others.
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.
