Repair your Plush! March 29, from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. Join us for a heartwarming 2-hour workshop where we will breathe new life into your beloved stuffed animals! Whether it’s a childhood companion or a cherished gift, learn hands-on techniques to mend, reinforce, re-stuff and restore plush toys. As we stitch and stuff, I will share stories of healing and celebration as we transform sentimental fabrics into custom keepsakes that honor spatial memories. This workshop teaches the art of repair — a place where every stitch tells a story, and where life’s moments, big and small, are celebrated with love. Depending on the state of your plush or doll, you will learn the skills needed to either work on and finish, or take your item home to continue your desired repairs. It is recommended that you wash your plush toy ahead of time planning for plenty of time for it to dry thoroughly. Use your best judgement on whether it should go in the washing machine or be gently hand washed. This class is appropriate for ages 5+ years with an adult in attendance, or 11+ years on their own. • Military, first responders and sibling discounts: Email us for more information. • Scholarships available: Click here for an application. • Homeschool funds accepted: Click here for enrollment details. • If this class is full, join the Interest List to be notified. • If you would like to be notified of future offerings, join the Interest List to be notified when new dates or spaces are available.

"Estate Sale" is the title of my exhibit, opening February 7 from 5–10 p.m. at 829 Washington St. This space also features a large mural I recently painted, and I’ll be displaying many new works exploring the growing disparity in our lives. - Beverages and tunes will be provided to ease your social anxiety.
