What is Patchwork?
Patchwork: A Craft & Conversation Circle is a community gathering where storytelling, creativity, and connection meet. Through guided conversation and hands-on crafting, participants are invited to share stories, reflect, and build relationships in a relaxed, welcoming space. As participants create, their crafts become visual extensions of their stories, tangible reflections of memory, identity, and imagination. Whether you come to make something, meet new people, or simply listen, Patchwork centers the beauty of creating alongside one another, piece by piece.
This event is open to the public.
