Mend & Swap Day with BHNP Craft Club

Come celebrate America Recycles Day with BHNP Craft Club! We will be offering:

• a visible mending workshop*,
• an all-day clothing & book swap,
• teaching how to craft with alternative materials,
• and providing a space to connect with your local crafty community!

We will provide materials, but it is encouraged to bring your own as supplies are limited.

What to bring:

• books and clothes to swap,
• clothes you want to repair,
• scrap fabric,
• thread and needles,
• any other crafting materials you might need.

*Hand sewing only! No sewing machines available on site.

Want to craft but don’t know where to start? Miss that summer camp vibe from years ago? Come join Blue Heron Nature Preserve's adults-only craft club, where we celebrate creativity and encourage sustainable practices. You’ll get the feeling of summer camp again (without the endless hours in the sun!)

Led by our own educators, Mac and Dusk, each meetup offers approachable projects, encouragement, and plenty of space to experiment.

Learn about sustainability

At Blue Heron, we believe creativity can care for the planet too. Our projects highlight:

• Using natural, recycled, or repurposed materials
• Upcycling old items into new creations
• Practicing simple mending and maintenance skills to extend the life of everyday items
• Working with eco-friendly supplies
• Reducing waste while sparking innovation

Each craft is a reminder that small choices can add up to a big difference for the Earth.

Pay-What-You-Can: All meetings are donation-based, with contributions helping cover the cost of supplies and keeping Craft Camp accessible to everyone.

Bring a Friend: RSVPs are requested to help us & you with planning, but walk-ins (and tagalongs!) are welcome too.

Come craft, connect, and create with us—we can’t wait to see what you’ll make!
