Grieving & Weaving

Whether you're an expert with yarn, just starting out, or prefer sketching or collaging, all are welcome to join us as we share stories, skills, and grief resources. As we create together in the comfort of Green-Wood’s Modern Chapel, we’ll talk about the significance of handmade items in both our personal and collective histories. 

Beginners can join our knitting and crochet tutorial groups, while experienced crafters are encouraged to bring ongoing projects and mentor others. Feel free to bring your own yarn, needles, and hooks; some materials will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Not a knitter? Not to worry, you can bring whatever other crafts you are working on. 

To hear about past attendees’ experiences, listen to and/or read this piece featured on NPR. 

Free. Registration required. Please consider a $10 donation to the Green-Wood Historic Fund so that we can continue to offer more death education programs like this throughout the year.
