Community Mending Circle

If you’ve learned at someone’s table, come take a seat at ours—your knowledge is part of the circle.
Bring your worn, torn, or well-loved items and gather in a space rooted in shared skills, quiet (ish) conversation, and knowledge passed from one set of hands to another. This is a place to mend what you have, learn as you go, and help keep these traditions alive together.
