Open Studio (Textile)
Now that we’re in the new building, we’re experimenting with some less-structured programming. Welcome to Open Studio! A time where community members can come to connect and work on projects with some guidance from facilitators. The theme for this winter’s Open Studio is textiles: come and learn how to sew simple things, repair your clothing or hem your pants! Or come and learn how to crochet or knit. We will have some supplies on hand, but feel free to bring the projects you’re working on to be in company with others while sipping on a hot tea or coffee.
