A Common Thread: Creative Sewing & Embroidery
May 21 @ 10:30 am – 12:00 pm
A growing community of soft makers: our ‘A Common Thread’ sessions are the epitome of how we build community over shared passions and experiences. All ages, all skill levels, all backgrounds, all together: bring a project or start one; help with a group make to display in the space or help others to learn. Whether it’s patchwork or embroidery, cross-stitch or crochet, you will likely find someone who shares your making joy.
Led by Christel Stranack (@craftybleublancrouge), a talented multidisciplinary maker, supported by other volunteers of all ages. These sessions are predominantly for hand-makers, but all welcome!
