Craft Circles/Events/Presentations
FREE - Community Craft Circle at the Berkeley Library (Tarea Hall Pitman South Branch)
Please join our Craft Circle Community where you can work on your knitting, crochet, tatting, embroidery, or any craft you like! We get together every other Monday from 1PM to 4PM to have a chance to be social and creative together. The space is large with chairs, tables, and plugs on the floor for any electronic equipment you need to bring (computer, light, etc.). This is not a class so there will be no instruction but we do encourage and learn from each other as well as enjoy conversation.
FREE - Presentation “Mental Wellness and the Art of Embroidery”
Embroidery is an ancient art dating back to the beginning of civilization. It developed in cultures all around the globe. It has been an appreciated and valued art form through the centuries and now is being discovered and recognized for a different reason. It’s good for mental health and wellness. I will share my personal journey of 50+ years embroidering and how it has helped my wellbeing as well as how embroidery is being used to help many people around the world.
I will be joining the established by-weekly Fiber Arts craft circle giving the talk in the first hour and then I will join the circle stitching for the second hour. This event is free and requires no registration.
