Visible mending is the art of restoring our clothing with creativity, not only repairing the tear but adding beauty and story to our beloved garments along the way, while also saving them from the landfill. In this two hour workshop and stitch circle, we will learn the basics of visible mending, starting from threading the needle, and leave feeling confident in approaching projects at home. The first half will be instruction and stitch practice, followed by time to work on whatever items you bring you mend, with Maggie’s support. Folks are invited to bring a couple pieces of clothing to repair. Beginners are warmly welcome.

All levels welcome; all materials provided.

Get your hands into paper in this playful, tactile introduction to pulp forming and mold making. Participants will work with paper pulp and simple molds to create their own shapes, textures, and small sculptural forms. We’ll explore how wet pulp behaves, how molds can guide structure, and how simple tools can transform recycled paper into something entirely new.

This accessible, experimental session is a gentle introduction to material process and form—equal parts messy, creative, and surprising. Participants will leave with their own pulp creations and a fresh appreciation for the possibilities of paper as a sculptural material.

This workshop explores creative reuse of marine debris through functional and experimental making. Participants will work with reclaimed materials, including recycled plastic, oyster bags, and rope, to create baskets, bags, boxes, and extruded plastic forms. Through guided demonstrations and open experimentation, you'll learn simple techniques for weaving bungee cords, extruding plastic into new shapes, and transforming aquaculture bags into durable sewn or constructed objects. The workshop also invites conversation about marine material lifecycles and how waste from working waterfronts can be reimagined as a resource for creative and practical use.

Family Friendly | This workshop is open to all ages. Children are welcome to participate with the supervision of an adult—a great opportunity to make and learn together.

Join us for a hands-on building session where we will create our own unique mobiles using a mix of recycled plastics, wood, and metal components. Participants will explore how things fit together while assembling prefabricated pieces—colorful mosaic-patterned plastic shapes, laser-cut wooden elements, and bent metal armatures—into balanced, hanging sculptures. Participants can also paint and decorate their wooden pieces to complement the vibrant recycled plastic patterns.

This workshop is part of an ongoing dialogue about thoughtfully re-homing marine plastics. We'll discuss how and why we incorporate these materials into functional, beautiful objects while considering their appropriate uses.
