About this Event

Join our Winter Gathering at the farm for a mending circle. This circle is open to the public with no skill requirements! Bring your family, bring your projects, bring your mending, bring your skills, bring your stories or just bring yourself! This is a people led gathering so if you want to share your supplies, your skills, or start a group project we encourage you to share. If you are a crafty introvert just looking for some parallel play there is space held here for you too!


NiNa is a Jill-of-many-skills who follows her soul calling to preserve the flame of ancestral knowledge and provide anyone and everyone access to this fire to light their own torches for themselves and for the next generation. She sees empirical knowledge and folk methods as reliable and feels that diplomas and paywalls aren’t necessary to call herself a cook, a forager, an herbalist, a weaver, a chemist, and a teacher. Since 2021 NiNa has been seeking knowledge about the modern and ancestral practices of textile making. For years she has been going into rabbit holes seeking to glean awareness of the many possibilities, skills, and requirements it takes to make fabric and paper. She is continually visiting and touring the rabbit holes of spinning yarn, spindle making, cord making, growing flax, dying cloth, weaving, fabric processing, felting, sewing, mending, and fiber harvesting. Though she is a capable artist she is primarily an educator of all ages. She loves a pun and she has coined herself as a con-textile-artist. Her practice as a con-textile-artist is dedicated to providing her students with context about the ancestral skills and human collaboration it takes to make their clothing so they can carry gratitude and awareness in their hearts and minds.
