Overview
This is a bring your own project open group that meets every other Wednesday 6:30 – 8pm. The focus will be on strengthening your sense of self and building community with whatever project you bring. No fiber art skills will be taught in these sessions, you will be working independently on whatever you bring.
The space is most conducive to smaller DRY fiber art projects like: knitting, crochet, embroidery, cross stitch, hand spinning, macrame, mending, hand sewing or beading, small handheld loom weaving. There is minimal table space so lap projects are a plus!
We will have some minimal supplies like scissors, scrap yarn & thread, sewing and tapestry needles in case they’re needed, please come prepared with everything you need to work on your project.
There will be tea, coffee, water and small snacks available.
Group capped at 8 people, sign up early to reserve your spot!
