Mend & Gather: A Stitching Circle with Penelope Wilson
$45.00 - $68.00
30 April to 4 June
2 pm to 3:30 pm
6-weeks
There's something quietly satisfying about working with your hands in good company. Mend & Gather is a relaxed gathering for people who enjoy — or are curious about — the slow, meditative rhythm of hand-stitching.
Bring along something that needs a small repair (a patch, some buttons, a darn), a hand-stitching or embroidery project you'd like to continue, or simply come and see what materials inspire you. We'll settle in, stitch at our own pace, and enjoy a bit of companionable peace together.
This is a community gathering with a therapeutic ethos — not a therapy group. It's a good fit for those who are comfortable in a small group setting and happy to work a little independently.
Facilitated by Penelope Wilson, Second-Year Creative Arts Therapy Master's Student.
