Make and Mend: Grief & Repair
A Workshop on Grief, Storytelling, and Mending
How do we process grief individually? What role does community play in collective grieving? What have we been taught about our grief—and how does that affect how we talk about it? Most importantly, how can we begin to put ourselves back together?
Join us for an evening of conversation, connection, and hands-on mending. Together, we’ll explore:
- The stories we carry about grief—where they come from and how they shape us
- The role of community in holding grief, and how we navigate collective grief
- How creativity and care—through patchwork, stitching, and gentle conversation—can become acts of resilience
- How to hold space for our own unique grieving processes
What to expect:
- A safe and brave space to share, listen, and reflect
- Hands-on instruction in visible mending techniques—learn how to mend your clothes with patchwork and stitching (bring something to mend if you can!)
- Stories of transformational grief from culture and community
- An exploration of grief as a force of change and creation
Let’s come together to stitch our stories, our clothes, and our hearts back together.
