This hands-on workshop introduces the basics of kokedama, a Japanese method of growing plants in moss-wrapped soil. We will go through how to prepare soil, position the plant roots, and bind each piece with natural twine (or colorful wire!) to create gorgeous living art.

We’ll chat, get dirt under our finger nails, and drink some tea. Everyone will leave with a finished kokedama (or several) and guidance for keeping it looking happy and healthy.

7-8:30pm. Address will be sent out the week of the workshop.

This visible mending workshop will introduce simple, coloful techniques for repairing and strengthening well-loved clothing. My favorite technique, which we’ll focus on, is creating woven patches with mini darning looms or embroidery hoops.

There’s power in extending the life of your clothes (save money, reduce waste, etc.) - and I love the idea of doing this with flair. Everyone is encouraged to bring one or two items to mend and will leave with repaired garments and the confidence to continue mending at home.

7-9pm. Address will be sent out week of the workshop.

Learn how to make your own beautiful home-made paper from recycled materials like bits of yarn, your kid’s old math homework - and flowers from my garden. Using moulds and deckles, we’ll swish, press, and flip our way to gorgeous sheets of paper.

With tea, sweets, and good conversation, this will be an engaging and relaxing time to learn a new craft technique and make something you can use for cards, gifts, or other artistic endeavors.

7-9:00pm. Address will be sent out the week of the workshop.

This hands-on workshop will teach you how to make simple but gorgeous hand-drawn prints from trash and pasta makers!

Come put down your phones and get a bit messy scratching, inking, and pressing ink to paper to make art on the postcards and paper provided. We’ll drink tea, experiment with our repurposed printing presses, and enjoy a creative break from our routines.

In this hands-on Basket Making Workshop, we’ll use colorful yarns to build coiled sculptural baskets — perfect as small, practical homes for all the things.

With tea, snacks, and phones forgotten, spend an evening learning simple basketmaking techniques that can be easily continued at home.

Just bring a willingness to get a little tangled, and go home relaxed and with a little basket!

Try your hand at the ancient art of tapestry weaving. In this workshop you’ll learn how to warp (wind yarn on) our small tapestry looms, understand weaving-specific vocabulary, practice basic stitching techniques, and create a bookmark to showcase what you have learned.

You will go home with your own small tapestry loom, needle, and enough yarn to make a second bookmark on your own.

4-6pm. Address will be emailed out before the workshop.
