Restoring Memory Through Collective Mending - Adults & Teens

In this workshop, participants will explore the art of mending as a form of healing. Through sewing and embroidery, we will patch and stitch to honor treasured fabric items with a focus on gentle repair. Objects which hold special stories and memories might include garments or blankets; join in this communal workshop and participate in the centuries-old practice of restoration.
